email templates

I need to make a system for people to edit a template that will be the
body of an email (a sale confirmation) without doing much (any?) coding. Is
there any way to do this built-in? I can imagine a way I could do it by
searching for strings and replacing them (like a mail merge using my own
tagging scheme), but I don't want to reinvent the wheel if I don't need to.
Any suggestions? Thanks!

You're going to have to do some String Replacements (e.g. "Dear Mr.
{LAST_NAME}" ).
If you want to get REALLY geeky about it, then you might want to look into
the RegEx Engine to take care of this. However, if this isn't going to have
a HUGE amount of execution, I'd stay away from RegEx simply because of the
ramp-up time.
