[Zope] How to correctly use the PARENTS object?

[Peter Sabaini]

I'm not sure myself how to use the PARENTS object myself, but I think
you rather want to use the dtml-with tag. dtml-with tells Zope to
"look somewhere else" for a name.

Eg. something like this should work:

<dtml-with Bugsmail>
  <dtml-getRecipients>
   ...
  </dtml-in>
</dtml-with>

Hth,
peter.
