We must be talking about two different things. My Cover letters
say things like, "Hi Joe, this is what I was telling you about over the
phone, and the details are half way down, talk to you later, bye".
You're talking about form letters, and for that, I suppose that's great.
But *none* of my interesting gnucash reports are "invoices",
none have "customers" associated with them. I usually just
email snippets out of the register reports. So solving the
problem narrowly for business invoices just leaves me cold;
its a broader problem than that.
