 * Wanting to revisit the possibility of allowing either shortcode or php support
   in the email template. We’d like to be able to run a WordPress loop at the bottom
   of the email with the latest news and additional downloads without having to 
   edit the template every time we make a change.
 * Is there any possibility of processing shortcodes or at least php at the same
   time the [file_name] and [file_url] tags are being populated?
 * CF7 does allow shortcodes to be used in their email templates adding a filter
   to ‘wpcf7_form_elements’ so I’m hoping this is a possibility for EBD.
 * Thanks for your help!
