title: Grails Mail Plugin: Absolute Path to View
body: <p>I need to store my email templates in a location that can be edited without redeploying the grails application.  I'm looking for a way to render these templates as views for the mail plugin based on an absolute path.  Currently both the built in 'view' and the grails render method are based on the grails-app/views location.</p>
  
  <p>UPDATE: For now, I'm going to use the SimpleTemplateEngine and just feed the string into the body.  I'd still like to know if there is a more "grails" way of pulling this off.</p>
