You can 'Save As' text and use as a template or import when composing.  I keep one directory for plain text 'exports' of a number of documents that are sent via email during the week.

Have used this for basic reports, or boiler plate documents. The document is generated in full format saved as OpenOffice and plain text formats. Can import the plain text for the email as required (File menu).

Can you import a word file directly into the main body of a new message? If so how is this done?

1. Open the document in MsWord or equiv.

2. Edit menu Select All, Copy to Clipboard

3. In Pegasus Mail use menu Edit/Paste Special (formatted document), 

4. A version of the document should appear, which will most likely need fixup.
