I'm looking for a template engine for .NET/C# to generate email notifications in my application. I read about NVelocity in the past and think it would fit my needs, but it seems this project is dead.
Would you still recommended to use NVelocity for that purpose or can you suggest any alternatives?
Note: I found some other templating engines, but these are mostly "view-engines" for ASP.NET MVC (Brail, NHaml, etc.). But I think these are not what I'm looking for.

Velocity templates were deprecated in Liferay Portal 7.0 and are now removed in favor of FreeMarker templates in Liferay DXP 7.2.
Velocity is a Java-based templating engine. It's an open source web framework designed to be used as a view component in the MVC architecture, and it provides an alternative to some existing technologies such as JSP. Velocity can be used to generate XML files, SQL, PostScript and most other text-based formats.
Yes, it is active. Velocity 2.0 is now available.
The Castle Project forked the project and have been maintaining it, and most recently released version 1.1.1 on 10 December 2010. More details can be found at the Castle Projects NVelocity site. They have also made a number of improvements to it, details of which can be found on their NVelocity improvements page. The project looks like it is now dead and in MonoRail 3, it has been replaced by Castle Blade which is based off Razor.
If you are looking for an alternative, then I would suggest the Razor view engine from ASP.Net MVC3 or the Spark View Engine.
The open source project RazorEngine allows you to use the the Razor View engine outside of ASP.Net MVC or Web Pages so you can use it to generate templated emails.
