------------------------------------------

Hi Guillaume,

Thanks for the test project. As I suspected this is a configuration problem, 
rather than a bug in the plugin. Let me try to explain what is happening and 
why.

When you run "mvn clean changes:announcement-mail" on you project this is what 
happens:

* The changes:announcement-generate goal is executed prior to 
announcement-mail. It uses the parameters {{template}} and 
{{templateDirectory}} to find the template, and {{templateEncoding}} to read it 
using the correct encoding.
* The resulting announcement file is put in this directory: 
{{$\{project.build.directory\}/announcement/}}
* The file name will be the same as the template, since {{announcementFile}} is 
not specified, which means {{custom-announcement_fr.vm}} in your project
* Now the changes:announcement-mail runs
* It will try to read the announcement file using the default values for 
{{announcementDirectory}} and {{announcementFile}}, since they are not 
specified. This means looking for the file 
{{$\{project.build.directory\}/announcement/announcement.vm}}

To sum things up. The {{template*}} parameters specify the template while the 
{{announcementDirectory}} and {{announcementFile}} specify the generated 
announcement file. The latter two is the glue between the 
{{announcement-generate}} and {{announcement-mail}} goals. They have default 
values that can work under some circumstances (if you don't use a custom name 
for the template), but not for all.

You have two options:
# Rename your announcement file to {{announcement.vm}}
# Specify the {{annnouncementFile}} parameter
