Subject: CONTINUUM-310 - customizable email templates
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
Content-Disposition: inline

This was marked closed, should it have been?  I still see no way of
allowing the user to customize the content of the email body.

Right now the velocity templates are part of the continuum-core
project and are buried inside the core.jar so it's not easy for the
users to edit the template.

What does everybody think about adding a step to the continuum-webapp
project that extracts the templates from the continuum-core.jar and
puts a copy of them in the WEB-INF/classes directory.  When the mail
notifier loads the templates it should find the ones in the
WEB-INF/classes before the ones in the jar and run with those.

That way the users can edit them and customize them any way they want.
