To avoid the problem of spamming, there should be some control be put in place
so that a user cannot edit or create and article and then send it to someone.

We should also allow people to opt-out of getting these emails.  If your Aunt
Sue starts sending you every article she finds in Wikipedia, you may quickly
get annoyed.  So we should maintain a list of people who've gotten the email
and then said they don't want any more.

Finally (and this is really more of an Ops issue), we should hook into Feedback
Loops (See AOLs for example:
http://postmaster.aol.com/Postmaster.FeedbackLoop.php but other large providers
like Yahoo, Hotmail and Comcast use them as well) so that when someone marks
the email as spam their provider can notify us that they don't want to get the
emails any more.
