[sugar] Email support out of the box? [WAS: Howdy]

[Yamandu Ploskonka]

Shikhar,

I am very interested on your project, and the newsreader that James 
mentions that I didn't know about, because I see such a tool as a major 
need to make it easier for teachers to connect with the developer 
community.  Some of my opinions on this need are here,

Thank you for your efforts!
