If I've got some time, I'm OK to replace the logo (I'll take 
ReportLab's one) and some text, and contribute the code (250 lines) 
and the 'fake' result. I'll fake the database accesses too.

This document was created to send a mailing to a client's clients, 
informing them of the creation of a new website and giving them 
their identifier and password. There's also the address.
On each page, only these three fields change, that's why using 
forms was a big bonus.

this could serve as a typical mailing benchmark (tiPYcal in fact :-)

if you're interested, please tell me so.
