According to the RTC support guide, the Email template language is Apache Velocity.
the Apache Velocity language says that I should be able to manipulate the contents of variables using the java string class methods.

and example is
#set( $a = "Hello" )
#set( $b = "+" )
#set( $c = $a.replace("l", ${b}) )
${c}

but I get an error when I try this..

Invalid reference $a.replace()
