Hello Andre,
I was indeed in search of more input whether it's a good idea
or bad one. Nemo tells me it will be a nice move to shift from the
conventional usermailer [1]. Since its an additional task in my proposal, I
am ready to take up the shifting job, as it needs to be done first, should
it be done. If anyone would like to take up the job, I would be happy to
pair with them too.
