I found a work around for the time being. It still requires a little extra work but better than opening up a template doc to copy and paste.
If you only need to use this for the email context and not preloading addresses and subject lines, you can create a signature with the text of the email. I added my subject line as the top line to be bale to copy and paste. Then when you start a new email just select the signature you want to use. Make sure you include your actual signature in the text box you write the email. This has helped but I also had to create address groups to be able to just put group names in the address bar for each email rather than adding a million addresses from memory. It's not perfect but it's something for now. Hope it helps someone else :)
