Hello!

Well, using a mail template I'm naturally relying on the *notify* parameter specified in the task node xml definition, like this:

| 
 | <task-node name="Draft"> | 
 |
| 
 | 
 | <task name="program_defined" swimlane="PM" description="DRAFT" *notify="true"*></task> |
| 
 | 
 | <transition to="Active" name="validate"></transition> |
| 
 | </task-node> | 
 |

As such, I'm using an xml template in which I can invoke my *processInstance* properties and variables. 
I.e. with #{taskInstance.*actorId*} to obtain *actorId* in my mail template.

By the way, my issue was solved as I thought. Infact, if you carry a set of variables with your *taskInstance*, you can retrieve them by calling them in this way:

#{taskInstance.variables.*variable_name*}

where *variable_name* is the *key* name used to store your variable in the *taskInstance*.
Hope this can be useful to someone else!

Cheers!
