Variables are surrounded by {}, and initial (default) templates are
generated on demand from the plaintext version of emails. The custom
emails are intended to only be used if the user actually changes them,
as they lose the features of the default ones, such as tables.
After selecting users in the accounts tab, you can press 'Announce',
then write a subject and message (with markdown), and an email will be
sent to each selected user.
the web ui has been redesigned with the a17t toolkit, which imo looks a
lot better than bootstrap. This also brought a complete rework of the
web code, which now makes a lot more sense hopefully. the setup page is
still stuck with bootstrap, its not much of a priority but i'll rewrite
it eventually.
