You can't do it quite like that. Including the domain_name in the renewal
reminder message isn't (easily)possible, since one registrant could have
more than one domain renewing, and a list in the context you suggest
wouldn't make any sense.
HOWEVER, it doesn't follow that we couldn't allow you to include things like
firstname, lastname...etc. This is enabled in the renewal confirmation
messages, and is on the list for an enhancement for the reminders.
Say, if a bunch of MSPs wanted to throw in an 'aye', it would help gage
demand....
Also, note that the message text that you think 'stinks' is a part of the
one day renewal reminder, a case where we MUST get involved to a greater
degree than we usually like to. We could probably modify that text so that
it includes the MSP contact information (I'll have to look into it). Again,
if people think this is a good thing, drop another 'aye' to the list.
And lastly, you can inlclude any standard (non-dynamic) text you like in any
of the renewal messages (including the one day reminder); any text you
include will be shown before our standard text as well.
Thanks,
Ken
