[seam-dev] Seam Reports

[Ken Finnigan]

Hi George,

Just wanted to clarify whether you mean that the classes from Seam Mail for
rendering would be extracted out into the Seam Render module or Seam
Reports?  The way I read it it could be either way.

If the former, then I think that would be a good idea.  If the latter, then
I'd be concerned about the linkages to Reports from Mail.

Regards
Ken
