Comments.Text: So the "Save as template" checkbox that you get when creating a reminder actually only means "Create message template"? That's a shame...

  In an existing event, if I click on "Reminders" to add one, I only get the option to create a new reminder, but I find no way to use an already existing reminder template.
  
  What am I missing?
