Bukkit

Message templates - for advanced users (ops and admins especially) would be useful. Hand out infractions, downtime notices, rule updates, etc. Even do a MOTD!

A letter is created using placeholders like $1, $2, $3 etc, and then the command /lettertemplate <templatename> <1> <2> <3> is issued to generate the letter. Combine with the multiple recipient enhancement and this will make admin communications very simple indeed!

For example:

/lettercreatetemp greifing You have been caught greifing $1. The penalty for this is $2 of jail time.\n\nNext time, it's a ban. Enjoy your stay.\n~Admin
/lettertemplate griefing "the town square" "1 week"

The letter would read:
--------------------------
You have been caught greifing the town square. The penalty for this is 1 week of jail time.

Next time, it's a ban. Enjoy your stay.
~Admin
--------------------------

Note: Quotes would be optional to allow spaces in the parameter. Parameters are auto-split by spaces inside bukkit, but just look and see if a parameter to the Command begins with a quote, and then concatenate all the following parameters until one ends with a quote.

Obviously, this would also require commands to manage and remove templates.

Accepted at low priority. I agree a full template system would be nice, and I'll have such a system in mind when creating the functionality. It will likely happen in small steps though, with a parcel for new players as a planned "next version" incarnation.
