Answers.Text: Thought that was the case. My workround is to create a template using Mailings>Mosaico, create a dummy mass mailing, send the test email. I then get the source code from the email and use that to create a base template for user driven mailings. I then use that template in the normal way and save it as a new one to suit my purposes. Bit of a pain to set up first time, but works well after that.

Answers.Text: I had actually thought of that, but  was not sure how technical you were so didn't offer that up as an option - perfect workaround for anyone interested.

  You can try the [Mosaico Message Template Synchronisation extension](https://github.com/civicrm/org.civicrm.mosaicomsgtpl).
  
  From the README:
  
  > This extension enables you to use CiviCRM-Mosaico templates with scheduled reminders, personal messages, etc. It does this by automatically copying each template from Mosaico to a CiviCRM "Message Template".
  >
  > When you install the extension, all existing MosaicoTemplates will be automatically copied to MessageTemplates.
  >
  > When you create or update a MosaicoTemplate, the corresponding MessageTemplate will be updated.
  
  There's a few gotchas/caveats to look out for - see [README on branch issue/6](https://github.com/civicrm/org.civicrm.mosaicomsgtpl/tree/issue/6) for fuller explanation about what happens with things like unsusbscribe links which don't apply to a log of message templates.
