+ *
+ * `globalTemplateVars` is an object that can be passed to the configuration of the Email Plugin with static object variables.
+ * You can also pass an async function that will be called with the `RequestContext` and the `Injector` so you can access services
+ * and e.g. load channel specific theme configurations.

+ * ```ts
