Consider expanding the following documentation line on the github main page. It introduces many functions in a single line. Perhaps we can add a para or two explaining how to use these functions.

We can also send email based on R Markdown files through RStudio Connect. The prepare_rsc_example_files() function provides .Rmd files that facilitate a main report + email report workflow. The key components are theblastula::blastula_email output type for the email report, and the use of render_connect_email() and attach_connect_email() in the main report.

Also, can we use these functions using the normal rstudio server and not going thorugh the rstudio connect?

It's also not clear to me if these functions actually send emails from Posit Connect or if I still need to set up authentication with an email address and use smtp_send() somewhere in the files generated in the example. If smtp_send() is needed then some documentation (or links to docs) about how to set up secrets in Posit Connect would be useful.
