Re: Email Notification Management

Hi Alex,

Message creation/management is by an administrator. Thus, they would be 
secure. But, yes, there is a small security issue. However, the context 
is well-defined and therefore limits the damage an error might create. I 
think this is a concern of yours. Right?

But, in general, the user will be able to create a message as in:

To:   [$Message.To (not editable)]
From: [User Input]
CC: [User Input]
Date: [$Message.Now]

[
{user editable}
$Message.Body (with embedded image refs)
]

[optional image reference 1 input by user]
...
[optional image reference n input by user]

that is what the user interface is going to look like. $Message.Property 
will be a hashmap that can cotain application/message specific properties.

that is the planned admin design.

regards,

Lane
