# This view hitches into your default view and will call the render function
# on the templates provided.  This means that you have a layer of abstraction
# and you aren't required to modify your templates based on your desired engine
# (Template Toolkit or Mason, for example).  As long as the view adequately
# supports ->render, all things are good.  Mason, and others, are not good.

#
# The path here is to check configuration for the template root, and then
# proceed to call render on the subsequent templates and stuff each one
# into an Email::MIME container.  The mime-type will be stupidly guessed with
# the subdir on the template.
#

# Set it up so if you have multiple parts, they're alternatives.
# This is on the top-level message, not the individual parts.
