Sure can do. If you are interested on how, look at
http://svn.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/jakarta/commons/proper/email/trunk/src/java/org/apache/commons/mail/EmailException.java?rev=279313&view=markup
which commons-email stol^Wborrowed from
org.apache.commons.collections.FunctorException. There is no problem
to implement the same code in VelocityException (or simply extend from
the c-c class if we have commons-collections as a prerequisite
anyway. :-) )
