In fact, you can also send complete messages from Quicksilver in the same way by using ‘>>’ to separate the subject from the body.

For example,

What’s with your TPS Reports… >>[option-return] Did you get the memo??

will send the message with the subject “What’s with your TPS Reports…” and body “Did you get the memo??”

You can type newline characters in the text area by pressing [option-return], as I suggested there, but it’s not necessary for the >> trick to work.

It’s a great way to fire off quick messages, even if they’re not one-liners.
