   Hi there,

   I'm trying to get wpMandrill working with my site.
   I want to use a Mailchimp template to send a mail with dynamic content. I've tries this by using mandrill_payload in combination with global_merge_vars and the *|MERGEVAR|* tags, but can't figure it out. Can you give me a hint in the right direction?

   Kind regards,
   Milan

   Well, this bug is just weird. The vars are now fixed but selecting the template is just weird. I would expect that filling in the template name/slug is just enough but you do have to fill in the content $template_content. That doesn't make sense to me. See:

   $template_content = array( array('name' => 'main', 'content' => $message['html']) );

   $message['html'] = '';
   $message['template']['name'] = 'just-a-template';
   $message['template']['content'] = $template_content;

   Hey,

   This API call is a mirror of the Mandrill send-template call:
   https://mandrillapp.com/api/docs/messages.html#method=send-template

   If you were using more than one "editable zone" within your template, it would make more sense.
