Warning, "copy" means a perfect copy. Same address in all frames.
Probably not what you want to do here
(but a very nifty way to do the Greeting Cards thing people were talking about !).
You probably want "On new page creation: Reconnect Frame to current flow".
Hmm, maybe this option is incompletely named. It also implicitely means,
to actually create a new frame on the next page.

Oh, so you actually create a frame onto the copy frame ? Hmm, not very 
useful to have that copy then ;-) Except for the size maybe, but then the
"create a new frame and reconnect it" option does the same, w/o the need for
another frame on top of it.

About adding envelope templates... if the whole world was using only one size
of envelopes we would simply make a .kwt template. But I think we rather need
some wizard or so, to take into account the various existing sizes...
