=head2 B<Required files>
The B<make_email> script requires the presence of two files, which are
described in this section. These files are expected to be located in the same
directory used to store the script.
The script also requires a configuration file which is described in the
B<CONFIGURATION AND ENVIRONMENT> section below:
=over 4
=item B<Date Cache>
This is a file containing the recording dates of previous Community News
shows. The file is managed by B<make_email>, and it exists to aid the script
B<make_shownotes> when it is generating the HTML notes for distribution to the
volunteers who are contributing to the recording.
When B<make_shownotes> is generating notes for the volunteers it tries to work
out whether any comments were missed for that month, or whether any for the
current review month were read. It highlights any such cases to assist with
continuity. The date and time of the last recording are needed to achieve
this.
The file name is defined in the configuration file, and the default is
B<recording_dates.dat>.
The format of the file is described in the B<DATE CACHE> part of the
B<CONFIGURATION AND ENVIRONMENT> section below.
=item B<Template>
This is a file written in the Template Toolkit syntax which defines the format
of the email text. The name of this file is defined in the configuration file.

This would be a way of testing the generation of the email text for a future
