Is anyone aware of a plugable Email Templating solution for C#? I've grown weary of having to roll my own each project and I imagine there are more robust solutions out there. It should support HTML/non-HTML and allow for tokens (e.g. USERNAME is replaced with a configurable value).

ComponentForge Mail Merge Suite is a set of flexible and easy-to-use .NET components for generating dynamic email content with DynamicTemplate.

If you're looking for a free hack, OpenOffice claims to be capable of this:

Component Forge is IMHO not a good tip. They stole almost all of their components from other vendors. For example ComponentForge MailMergeSuite suite is illegally built on top of Rebex Secure Mail. For details of this scam see http://cheated.by.safabyte.net/evidence.aspx

I have also used their template engine. This is a unique component on the internet. I think Rebex's comment is primarily for the purpose of disrupting their competitor's business.

Could you be more specific about why do you think that ComponentForge mail merge suite is unique? (BTW - the ComponentForge website now redirects users to XtraComponents.com which is just another fake brand. For details see http://cheated.by.safabyte.net/evidence-xtracomponents.aspx)
