Hi umm change+lists.rt,

Unless this has changed in the 3.8 line, you can't use a template to send 
an e-mail in a custom action.

The way I get around it is to use the custom action to set a trigger and 
then have another scrip (that uses that trigger as a custom condition) send 
the e-mail.

In our case, we don't use the priority field of the tickets for anything 
else, so my custom action assigns "5" to priority when I want to send an 
e-mail.  Then I have another scrip that sends the e-mail when the priority 
changes to "5".  You could use almost any unused field, or you could use a 
custom field.

Regards,
Gene
