[Seaside] HTML EMail

[Julian Fitzell]

At first glance, it doesn't sound like you need a Component or a
Presenter at all. You just want to use a Canvas to generate some HTML
and you can do that from any object you want. By convention, you'd do
this by implementing an object with a #renderOn: method but even
that's not strictly necessary. In 2.9 you could subclass WAPainter.

An exception to the above would be if you need to embed other
Presenters within your rendering.

Also, if you haven't found it already, you might want to look at
Builder (you create one by calling the class-side #builder method on a
Canvas). This should make getting a string of the HTML easy.
