Yes.  You must globally configure an SMTP server and default sender 
address, but the senders, recipients, subject, content type and message 
bodies  are defined in a workflow script.  A project can have any 
number of workflow scripts, each of which defines one or more kickoff 
event handlers and a set of work queues.  Each queue has its own set of 
event handlers, which can be restricted by groups and permissions.  
Event handlers are configured with a sequence of commands (including 
email, build, publish, etc.) which can incorporate any custom code and 
fire further events.

Every work instance has its own set of attributes which can be set 
automatically and/or populated from user forms, and then be referenced 
as a variable in the subject or content of an e-mail message.  This 
allows you to incorporate users comments and instructions in the email 
notifications, along with links back to specific workflow screens.

Uploading is available for any file, if it is configured as an editor.  
Uploading zips can be done at any subdirectory, but for now, as in 1.4, 
the directory structure of the zip must reflect the hierarchy leading 
up to the selected subdirectory.  Does that answer the question?  Not 
sure I'm reading it right . . .

Juris at U of Latvia integrated fck into version 1.4, and I'm sure it 
will be possible in 2.0 as well.  At Columbia we're planning a major 
re-write of the XML/WYSIWYG editor
using DHTML with a node tree navigator and a new default WYSIWYG (not 
yet determined).  There's a list of other features we're planning as 
well, I'll post to the list in more detail as that work follows the 
release of 2.0.

People might miss this question . . . you might get livelier responses 
if you post a clearly labeled quick survey.
