[Zope-dev] Emailing html web pages: how can I render page as the anonymous user?

[Chris McDonough]

Hi Don,

Instead of including the rendered standard_html_header and 
standard_html_footer in the emailed page, why not have a 
"emailed_html_header" and "emailed_html_footer", which are prerendered 
copies of a toolbar and other things as seen by the anonymous user?

The setuid/setgid thing is tricky and since the outcomes will be about 
the same (always showing folks an anonymous-based toolbar), including 
static content is easier.
