**Details**

We would like to create a standard header and footer for our email templates. Rather than pasting the custom HTML in the top of each system email template we want to override, it would be better to define a header template, and a footer template, and then use smarty to [{include}](http://www.smarty.net/docsv2/en/language.function.include.tpl) these templates.

Is this possible with CiviCRM?

Is there a reason CiviCRM doesn't have a single header/footer template by default? If not would this make a reasonable feature request?
