Not really... Note that some of the stuf is wrong. For example, if the 
mail temptlaes fail, we don't really want to stop in the middle with 
throwtemplateerror (like we currently do), we want to keep going.

Exceptions are 'nicer' that way, in that we can catch template errors, 
while letting DB errors lead to a script exit.
