+The Web2Py framework has a Mail class (defined in {{{gluon/tools.py}}}) which we make use of within Eden.
+
+We configure this through settings in our [DeveloperGuidelines/Templates Templates].
+
+These settings are then read in {{models/00_settings.py}}:
+{{{
+sender = settings.get_mail_sender()
+if sender:
+    mail.settings.sender = sender
+    mail.settings.server = settings.get_mail_server()
+    mail.settings.tls = settings.get_mail_server_tls()
+    mail_server_login = settings.get_mail_server_login()
+    if mail_server_login:
+        mail.settings.login = mail_server_login
+    # Email settings for registration verification and approval
+    _settings.mailer = mail
+}}}
+
+We wrap this within our Messaging module (modules/s3/s3msg.py) & so send mails using:
+msg.send_email(to,
+               subject,
+               message,
+               attachments=None,
+               cc=None,
+               bcc=None,
+               reply_to=None,
+               sender="%(sender)s",
+               encoding="utf-8")
+
+== Notes ==
+Can send emails with dynamic data inserted into templates (like HTML pages):
