The functionality is going to be in the calendar. There is an object
called a VALARM object where you can specify an email reminder.
It may not be in the first revision though

Actually there is a task scheduler built into Turbine for this type of
thing so we may not need a dedicated/separate servlet. Turbine can handle
it using the JavaMail API. Of course we could always point the smtp server
to a JAMES server, I believe.B
I would love to have someone jump on this part of the implementation
because I just dont have the time to think that far ahead. It isnt the
most time intensive part, though.
Let me know if you would like to help with it and I can help you out with
the details via the list
