Very important is support of unicode as the old XMP plugin has issue
not working with Unicode.

I use XMP macros in Quick Templates for mail text generation:
%XMP_StrTrim %XMP_StrItemCnt XMP_For %XMP_StrItem %XMP_StrC to create
nice formatted attachment list to mail body
%XMP_Select %XMP_Gender to detect gender for salutations
%XMP_TimeAdd to calculate dates/time
