Emails are generated using tags in the https://jboss.com/products/seam/mail namespace. Documents should always have the message tag at the root of the message. The message tag prepares Seam to generate an email.
The standard templating tags of facelets can be used as normal. Inside the body you can use any JSF tag which doesn't require access to external resources (stylesheets, javascript).
