I am looking for a .net templating engine - something simple, lightweight, stable with not too many dependencies. All I need it for at the moment is creating templated plain text and html emails. Can anyone give me a good recommendation?
If it helps at all - something like Java's Freemarker or Velocity libraries.
[UPDATE] Thanks for the answers so far - much appreciated. I am really intested in recommendations or war stories from when you have used these libraries. Seems to be the best way to make a decision without trying each in turn.

You actually dont need them, but they have a lot of features that makes your pages more dynamic..
Using template engines for complex front end rendering is bad and not a good practice.
A template engine enables you to use static template files in your application. At runtime, the template engine replaces variables in a template file with actual values, and transforms the template into an HTML file sent to the client. This approach makes it easier to design an HTML page.
Here's a couple more:
About NVelocity, it has been forked by the Castle guys, it's being developed here
For emails, I've never needed more than NVelocity.
