mailconfirm.mail.body=
Hi, {0}!

    To confirm your email address click on the confirmation          


        

Answer 1

An alternative is to use String.format, change the {X} for %s.

mailconfirm.mail.body=
Hi, %s!
\
    To confirm your email address click on the confirmation link given bellow. If clicking on the link doesn't work, copy and paste the link in a new browser tab. 

\
    http://www.domain/confirm_email.html?action=activate&hash=%s

String whatEver = messageSource.getMessage("mailconfirm.mail.body", null, locale);

whatEver = String.format(whatEver,account.getLogin(), confirm.getHash() );

Hope it's useful.
