See my other email as well for why the templating engine is not the main point,
but here goes (base is simple.xhtml):

Subject: Try out Seam!

Dear #{person.firstname},
You can try out Seam by visiting http://www.seamframework.org

Much simpler and easier on the eyes. Anything besides that (headers,
attachments) is better handled in code and users should not touch it.
Since, as you say, people like the facelets templates, you should probably keep
them in Seam 3, but they are not suitable for editing by users. Greet your user
with this and they will give up right away....
