The stringwriter with the ascx control looks the most promising to me. That’s an interesting mix of solutions.

In the nutshell, the idea is to create an XML document (in code) with info that would be put in the XSL template, load the template and substitute placeholders in XSLT with data from XML (substitution is done automatically). This method is especially handy when you have to adjust text of the message based on the data you have and when you have variable length data collections (e.g. list of subscriptions).

I'd love to see your XSLT solution, let us know when you've written about it. Actually, this method works quite well with quite a few fields.
