I think the prevailing wisdom is that ZPT is best suited for XML-type
content, and that DTML is still needed for non-XML dynamic content
(email, javascript, etc.). You can still use ZPT as a front-end, but
you'll need DTML or a Python script in the back to do the actual email
composition.

via Python script.
