Is it possible to automatically add specific recipients to the TO FIELD with QuickText?
If so, how?
Thanks.
I just installed it and was wondering the same thing.
I found this and it worked for me:

Quicktext stores the templates in a file called template.xml.
You can manually edit it, though make a backup first.
I’ll quote the relevant message here:

I asked Emil this back in October of 2007 because I need to send a templated email to the same address almost every day. Emil's reply, which I am adding below, worked fine with my old Quicktext Pro but not with 9.11.3. But perhaps someone can get it to work with the 9.11.3 version ?
Here is his reply from October 2007:
(note that fredsmith@blabla.com is just the sample TO email address and should be changed to the one you want it to be).

I hope that helps. It worked a treat for me.
I had to restart thunderbird before my changes took effect.

You should be able to add custom to/cc/bcc values using:
[[HEADER=type|value]]
Eg:
[[HEADER=to|fredsmith@blabla.com]]
In the Quicktext template editor you should see this option listed under Variables (on the top-ish right) > Other > Add header (to, cc, bcc).
