The current calendar year in email templates

[web2008]

I thought the current calendar year {$ date_year} should work in email templates, but it does not.

Does anyone know anything more about this?

generally, you can't use the website template variables in email templates - you only have access to the variables/mergefields listed in the template and a few others.

if you wanted to show the current year in an email template, you should be able to use the code below...

{$date|date_format:'%Y'}

even in v8, that shouldn't break the updated Smarty Security Policy.
