Hi, In my Spring app, I'd like to use FreeMarker to generate the text of emails that will be sent by my application. The generated text will never be returned to the view so I don't need to configure a FreeMarker view resolver.

Is it possible to bypass the Freemarker cache when certain templates are requested? I realise that I'll probably have to implement my own TemplateLoader in order to do this, but even so, I can't see a way to check the cache when say template A is requested, but bypass it when template B is requested? If this is not possible, I'll just h...
