  We use templates to send thank you to our donors. We try to add new templates after a while, to tell a new story. Some donors beat our system, and contributes twice before we change our template.
  
  Do you know a clever way to have an alert or warning to inform back end users, that they are going to use a template already used for a certain contact?
