The new whine.pl script works great.  However, can it also do argument
substitutions of the even body, similar to BugMail's sendmail() routine?  

My interest is to notify people to resolve their bugs, so I want to provide a
bugzilla URL that lists all their resolved bugs in 1 page (with &tweak=1
passed).  I know I can do that by using %user% in the boolean tables.

But I also want a %bug_count% substitution variable.  I'm aware I can probably
do that in the .tmpl files, but that's too restrictive.  I think people ought to
be able to tweak their messages from the whine UI.

Reproducible: Always

Our needs seem to coincide. I can modify the editparams.cgi to add a global whine that will contact teh QA contacts with their outstanding bugs, but I want to be able to create a whine where I can substitute %user% in the mail list and have the qurey results work the same way as the whinemail.
