[rules-dev] mailer gui

[Mark Proctor]

I've split the subject/body into it's own tab, so now I have a headers 
tab and a body tab. The reason for this is the list of recipients 
currently is for fixed recipients, yes there is variable interpolation, 
but one row is one recipient. However there may be cases there the 
recipients are in a Collection, for this I was thinking of having a 
derived recipients list where the expression must return a collection.

Now the Q is what does that Collection maintain? It could just be a 
collection of string email address, but what about display name? I think 
we can can do two things. One create an interface can return the email 
and optional display name, and the collection must contain entries of 
this interface. The other alternative, and we can do both (but it means 
a gui for each idea, including the existing fixed) is to allow two 
collections to be used, one is a collection of strings representing the 
email addresses the other is a collection of strings representing the 
display name and it'll iterate over both in parallel. so any ideas? I 
have a feeling that in trying to fit most expected requirements I maybe 
making things too complex.... what do people need?
