Hi, I think John Steven has a point. He can use FreeMarker or JSP for his application but he likes Tapestry better. Now he needs to generate some HTML that won't be flushed to the web response but will be sent as a SMTP mail body. And he prefers to use the same tools/libraries he already has experience with. No need to add more libraries to the classpath when Tapestry can do this easily. Apache Commons Email is needed to send the email but something has to generate the HTML first! Initially I thought this question should have been asked at users@ mailing lists but now I think dev@ is better because it is a discussion whether Tapestry should be improved with such feature or not.
