CDATA Blocks

When any component of the email message (body, subject, cc, etc.) contains characters that are illegal in XML text (e.g. characters like < and & that are interpreted by the parser as the start of an XML element or character entity, respectively), the entire component must be expressed in a CDATA block to prevent it from being parsed. For example, any message body written as HTML must be contained within a CDATA section.

The marked up text can then be passed to Velocity for variable substitution and can be rendered as an HTML email message.
