• Wrap email contents in a nice layout (with header, footer, common styling, etc.)
• Auto-generate the text version of the email.

And here's how I actually trigger a notification:

• Service integration (mandrill, mailchimp etc)

While packages can solve problems like this, have a guide that walks you through these sorts of core application features will aid developers in building more advanced functionality on top.
