I was worried when reading about this add-on no longer working, so looked for an alternative.
This seems to do what I need and is compatible with the latest Thunderbird:

Hi,
As Andy68 mentions the problem appears to be that quicktext now saves templates.xml without the FFFE at the beginning of the file. If you are a windows user you can resolve this by opening the templates.xml in notepad++ going to encoding, changing the encoding to "UCS-2 Little Endian" and saving. After changing the encoding and restarting thunderbird, quicktext should read the templates correctly. If you save in quicktext though you will have to do this again. Hopefully this workaround helps until Quicktext is fixed to save properly.
PS Windows users may find templates.xml in C:\Users\<Username>\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profile\<Profile>\quicktext\

This was an indispensable module (a 5 star one) - I had dozens of ready to use templates to drop into emails. However, since an update to Thunderbird, all of them have disappeared. I've tried saving new ones, but they disappear after restarting the computer...
Not cool! I'm going to have to disable this module now. There hasn't been an update in over a year, so doubt anything will change any time soon.

Bogobogo's workaround is working. Nevertheless the XML master-template was obviously corrupted! (???)
I did a binary comparison of the XML master-template file stored in \profile\quicktext\templates.xml with an older backup template.
Both files were equal except for two additional leading bytes at the top of the template file from my backup. (Bytes: FF FE)
If you want to restore your possibly corrupted Quicktext template I recommend to open your template with HEX editor and add two additional leading bytes "FF" "FE" to the file.
It worked for me.
I hope there will be a bug fix of Quicktext as soon as possible.
Regards!

Quicktext Pro license still available for sale.
Not a good idea.

Used to work great but after buying the pro version the developer stopped replying to emails when the programme stopped working. - edit: This is now an abandoned project - no updates and no replies to emails.

非常に優れた開発者（speedball2001）が、★5の評価（February 9, 2010）を与えていたので、注目しました。
「解説」の機能は、実際に待望していました。
今まで、このアイテムの存在に気付かなかったことが残念です。
この機能は、Thunderbirdがdefaultすべきものです。
多言語化表記が成されており、更に高機能な有償版の用意もあります。
必携です。推奨します。

Coming from OE I was missing 'insert text from file' but this addon does this and more. It's much more flexible and offers various templates from drop boxes in message window. Works with 31.4.0. Many thanks!

Muy bueno. Hace ya varios años que lo tengo y siempre me ha funcionado con las actualizaciones. Me quita un montón de trabajo, y poco a poco voy sacándole más partido.

I use this extension for years now, I simply cannot live without it! Thanks!
For some time the keyword completion with TAB key adds a superfluous tab character after the replaced text which is a bit annoying. I just found a workaround here, it may help others having the same problem:

..... Sometimes the shortcut control does not work. Sometimes it does. Also When I make a Hi template the word [[cursor]] appears instead of flashing cursor. If i click shortcut word Hi and my spacebar the cursor flashes.
Am i doing something wrong?

Just installed, great stuff, really usefull.
The only little missing thing that could make a superstar of this add-on: the possibility to attach files to templates.
But anyway, it works fine !
Thanks a lot !
