I don't think there is a maintainer for this (ultra-tiny but useful), sandbox component. Can someone take the initiative and push the latest build to the repository at ibiblio? Maybe even coordinate a 0.2 release :-)
In addition, I have a basic class VelocityHtmlEmail that extends HtmlEmail and adds support for setting the Html Msg with a template, and Plain Text Msg with templates. This is very basic, but I find it very useful, especially when working with other developers that aren't familiar with Velocity. I there is interest I will contribute this class to the project. - Mike
