Comment(by nickm):

 Looking through the code for initial issues:

   * Having to list all the languages explicitly in the configuration file
 seems awkward.  Can't we load a list by just seeing what languages are
 available?
   * This HTML_1...HTML_5 and EMAIL_1...EMAIL_6 business seems kinda
 awkward.  Is there a reason to split things up into 5 (or 6) numbered
 pieces?
   * I'm afraid I don't understand what's going on with gettext here.  It
 looks like you mess with global state somehow by calling the .install()
 method on every language you're about to send before you generate any
 messages.  Using global state like this makes me twitchy; is there really
 no way to make this more OO and ask the I18N module for some kind of
 "Translation" object, then ask the translation object for an approprate
 "_" method?
