Freemarker: url root object not recognized in email template

[jdbrown]

According to http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Template_Guide, Alfresco 2.1 now allows one to use the ${url.context} in a template. 

This does work when the template is used within a Web Script, but when I place this in an email template, I receive the error message that the keyword "url" is not recognized.

I am using the latest enterprise 2.1 branch as of last night.

The error stack is below:

Caused by: 
org.alfresco.service.cmr.repository.TemplateException: Error during processing of the template 'Expression url is undefined on line 3, column 15 in workspace://SpacesStore/02712887-5b00-11dc-bb84-edd42d997725.'. Please contact your system administrator.
