c# templates email-templates

I'm looking to create emails, mainly HTML, based on templates - I'd really like to do something like:

  1. Set up my template, as an HTML (or similar) file
  2. Include tags, that are then replaced with specific data (kind of like mail-merge....)

I've seen this: http://www.bitethebullet.co.uk/EmailTemplateFramework/tabid/58/Default.aspx

From searching on stack overflow, i understand nVelocity might be another option? But i can't find any examples to do what i want to do...

Any other suggestions?

This kind of functionality is already built in. See MailDefinition class. For more complex scenarios you might want to consider something like NVelocity. I've had a lot of success with StringTemplate's C# port.
