I use HTML templates that do sit within my views folder but they are read in
via my EmailService (inside the email bean) and then sent out that way.

I like this as it means anyone could edit the templates (I use placeholders
for replaceable content). Also keeps them nicely located. I recently had to
send them all to a colleague who needed to make text changes but is not
technical at all.

Works well.

Subject: [Model-Glue] sending emails from MG.


Hello Guys,

I wanted to get your opinions on how you distribute emails from within
your MG apps. I'm sure I remember reading a thread a while back about
how some people consider an email a 'view' and so would render the
HTML as a view, this I guess was called from the model using an cfhttp
call or something? and then distributed.

I myself have always just used a cfsavecontent tag in the model which
saves the HTML into a variable, this is then passed to a mailerservice
which contains all my POP/SMTP settings and this actually does the job
of sending the email.

I wanted to see what others were doing as for me having the HTML mixed
in the model always felt a little messy to me.

Cheers guys, appreciate your thoughts.

Rob
