# The mail and run_queries functions use an anonymous hash ($args) for their
# arguments, which are then passed to the templates.
#
# When run_queries is run, $args contains the following fields:
#  - body           Message body defined in event
#  - from           Bugzilla system email address
#  - queries        array of hashes containing:
#          - bugs:  array of hashes mapping fieldnames to values for this bug
#          - title: text title given to this query in the whine event
#  - schedule_id    integer id of the schedule being run
#  - subject        Subject line for the message
#  - recipient      user object for the recipient
#  - author         user object of the person who created the whine event
#
# In addition, mail adds two more fields to $args:
#  - alternatives   array of hashes defining mime multipart types and contents
#  - boundary       a MIME boundary generated using the process id and time
