Email builder replacement + support classes, the old system doesn't work
correctlty when used from taglibs and is complex due to a time/repreat
system. The new email builder removes all time related code (to be replaced
by a external crontab builder in fase2) and implements all the basic mail
options that 90% of the people want to use (mail user, mail users, mail
group, mail groups, dynamic email generation for small mailinglists etc etc)
in several handlers (each mail type has its own handler). The new email
system unlike the old will come with documenation and many examples.

Sounds, good.
The previous email builder had some problems while running it on muliple MMBase systems, is this something that is going to be solved with the new version?


Call for : Allowing this to be added to both the 1.6.x and 1.7 cvs by seeing
it as bugfix, We will not make this active (so users need to change the
builder.xml) by default so all old systems will still work until its stable
and has all the old features back. We will probably ask for a new vote
before 1.7 to remove the old one from cvs and making this one the default.

I prefer to separate such a builder (with docs, and examples) from the core, and put it in the MMBase applications module as Pierre already suggested. I suppose that it will run without problems on MMBase 1.6/1.7. Before voting, i would really like to see some source code, docs, and examples.

Greetings Rob
