Hello Shane,

Obviously, that was the long version my templating work Here's an abbreviated summary, adaptable for a changelog or release
announcement:

That's perfect for me And I read your last message - very
interesting and I really do appreciate all the hard work you've put
into this - I'm sure you had fun as well :) I hope my starter HTML
code wasn't to kludgy for you - if it is, attempt to try this with
2 8 15 :) One thing I encourage you to do is:

Perhaps Dada Mail 2 11 or 2 12 could ship with two or three
different default styles to choose/start from Or maybe, like the Zen Garden, there could be a public repository
somewhere on dadamail org for user-submitted designs Or one could
add a bit of JavaScript somewhere and make a quite robust style
switcher (for those of you who are into that sort of thing) And
I'm sure there are other possibilities like this, that I haven't
thought of

A style switcher wouldn't be hard at all, but I'd love to see you
whip out a no holds bar new styling for Dada Mail I could see as
this having a great added benefit for Dada Mail - those who don't
know how to work with XHTML/css, the list template or the
HTML::Template templates, can at least choose a already created look
and feel that could go with their website a little better than the,
"whatever color you want, as long as it's black" mentality there is
today So, it's just another step I guess

We, of course won't ship this for 2 10, but it could be fun to work
into the program soon

Once we do ship the next stable release, I'll send a note to the
HTML::Template guys about the release and this, "success story" on
how taking all the HTML code out of an existing program has allowed
the program to be incredibly flexible in terms of layout/styling

We could probably author an article together about this, for
perlmonks org, or one of the O'Reilly online publications - I could
talk about what it was like to get the code out of the program, and
you could talk about taking that and extending it to do neat things
It would be good promotion for us and for Dada Mail An article I
wrote for Perlmonks on using an application framework called,
CGI::Application:

 http://perlmonks
org/index
pl?node_id=199411

was a very popular piece
