Hi Charlie/Everyone Else Who Experienced the Breakage,

Catalyst::View::Email version 0.20 *should* in theory fix the recent 
breaks.  Please install (most conveniently using cpanf, attainable 
through App::CPAN::Fresh) and test, and notify the list/irc channel if 
you have any issues.

Also, see my previous email to the list regarding this fix/release.

Thanks,
