Hello Michael! I would really appreciate if you can have a look at this Saxon extension. It is a simple emitter that produce an Email message from a transformation. I am looking for a validation of an idea. For instance you may say that it is a bad idea and you better to look at ..... or it does has some merit in it. http://code.google.com/p/saxon-extensions/wiki/EmailEmitter P.S. Appreciate your time.

Seems a useful extension, and the design looks perfectly sound. I'm not going to bundle it with the Saxon product for maintainability reasons - it's another thing to test, the testing isn't trivial, and as far as I can see you haven't supplied a test suite. I'd prefer such things to be available as third-party plug-ins maintained by their contributors. That also means you get to choose your own license conditions and you don't have to sign any IP release paperwork. I couldn't actually find the source code of the Emitter (or much in the way of documentation) I would ask you not to use "saxon.sf.net" or "net.sf.saxon" in your package name or namespace - it creates confusion about who the originator is, and I don't want people thinking that it's a supported part of the product. Do feel free to document it in the Saxon wiki on Sourceforge, however. Michael Kay

Thank you for your time and a feedback. I am not looking for it to be bundled with Saxon, it will do fine as an extension. This why I released JcrDocumentWraper and EmailEmitter together, since both are extensions. Source code is available on code tab, here is the direct link: http://code.google.com/p/saxon-extensions/source/browse/trunk/email-emitter/src/net/sf/saxon/emailemitter/AbstractEmailEmitter.java Documentation is coming. I will change package names, and namespaces, as you asked. P.S. Would be nice to write a small article on doing the mail merge with Stylus Studio, what d.u. think ?
