how to use Smarty to write a text (ex. an e-mail)?

[_mario.lat]

Hallo,
I'd like to use the power of Smarty for writing an e-mail.
I mean: I have some field (or variables) and I like to create a template
of an e-mail which can be modified simply modifing the code...
like a web page whith its template.
How can I do?
Thank you in advance,
Mario.

Write your template e.g. email.tpl
Assign the vars
$tpl -assign('Name', $name);
and fetch the Finished Template into a variable

$body=$tpl -fetch('post_view.tpl');

and then mail it

mail($to,$subject,$body);
