The current email builder does its job, but there are indeed quite a few points for improvement. There are no apparent bugs (maybe only 'features'), and while I greatly support rewriting the email part; I see it as an improvement only. I therefore think this new code should go into 1.7, not into 1.6.x. My +1 for adding this to 1.7, but -1 for adding this to 1.6. Johannes
