I think what people are talking about is a two step process. First, an
external program is executed to produce the desired text in a known
location and then Second, a template macro grabs it from that known
location (file) and puts it into the message being created.

For instance, the text "already living xxxx days and xxx hours" probably
needed to be updated just before the macro put it into the message. That's
the use of an external program.
