 > Added all the replies to the private handbook as separated handbook
 posts to be able to get the text from there. Created as classic, so hope
 that getting the HTML from there might not be an issue.

 Thanks! The rejection emails are currently plain-text, but I can upgrade
 these to HTML as part of this to better communicate the email.

 I think there was a bit lost-in-translation on the notion of a handbook
 page here though - mostly because I wasn't very clear; I was thinking this
 would be a public handbook page that expanded on a single paragraph in the
 email.. ie.
 {{{
 Your plugin has been rejected due to {blah}, we feel that plugins of this
 nature are not suitable for the directory, yadda yadda.

 For more details on the reasoning behind this, please view
 https:...../handbook/rejected-for/unsuitable
 }}}

 I don't think that's necessarily needed, but thought it might be a way to
 keep the emails a bit more to the point.

 But what that does mean is that I'm going to have to copy the contents
 from the handbook and move it to PHP templates instead, as I don't think
 we can realistically pull the contents from the handbook and email that to
 plugin authors, and have future editors of the handbook to realise
 whatever is on the page is going to go the author.
