   This is an example of a poor choice of words by the original OpenXP     
   developers. In no way can it be described as a glossary, perhaps     
   "library" would have been the better choice because it's a collection     
   of snippets which can be quickly imported into a message.

   Yes, that's exactly what it is but it's something I never use these     
   days. However, since you've brought the matter up, I can think of a     
   number of uses to which it could be put, notably, "canned" responses     
   to questions :-))   
      
   Regards,
