I based what i sent out on a Fedora Core announcement.
Ive had a couple of private emails about a unique ID  and  there is nothing 
defined  so I did not include one.  I thought aboout perhaps a cgi script  to 
create the email.  then  it could create  most of the email automatically.  
with a little input from sender. 

that would keep things consistent in look.  ideas?  there would need to be 
some kind of access control.  I plan on always sending announcements for 
security issues with my packages.  should we approach fesco  asking for a 
policy  that security updates need announcements?
