Administrator's User Guide was updated to
document the usage of the 'vmail' parameter in
the QuickGen Tag Language section in
Appendix A. The 'vmail' parameter will allow the
QuickGen email To, From and Subject values to
be obtained from the standard VMAIL
parameters specified for the job. Note:this only
applies to batch QuickGen processing.
