A new fishbowl proposal

http://dev.zope.org/Wikis/DevSite/Proposals/TransactionalEmail

Zope's dtml-sendmail tag is not integrated into the
transaction system. This leads to two problems:
   =20
    o Duplicate copies of each email will be sent if a request has
      to be retried due to a conflict error.

    o Emails can be sent even if a request never completes, due
      to an error rendering the tail of the page, or a problem
      detected at transaction commit.


Any comments gratefully accepted.
