How can I create a template email in Gmail that will bring up the template and let me fill in a couple of fields in the Recipient list, Subject and Body of the email?

Google thinks it’s possible, but I haven’t tested it so I won’t post it as an answer.– AlexMar 25, 2012 at 13:00

The Gmail feature Canned responses does just that.
- Click
Composeand write your template - Click on
Canned responsesand thenNew canned response...to save it
Next time you need to write a template email, click on Canned responses and select the template from the Load list.

Canned responses doesn't save Subjects, so sadly, it does not do 'just that'. (OP specified subject as one of the fields he wished to be saved in the template)– user24164Sep 7, 2012 at 23:49

Canned responses doesn't save Subjects: that's no longer true. It does save the subject but won't fill the field if it's not empty, i.e., it only works if you didn't write any subject yet. Dec 7, 2018 at 21:42
Gmail have changed a lot since this question was posted. Nowadays instead of Canned Reponses it use the term Templates but it's disabled by default.
- To enable Templates go to Gmail Settings, then to the Advanced tab.
- To create, change, insert or delete a template, click on Compose, then on the More menu > Templates
For details see Create email templates.
NOTE: Templates could be used for auto-replies by using a filter.
