RE: [Bodington-developers] Group Emailer

[Adam M. <ada...@co...>]

I guess we feel that if the group emailer were to go into HEAD then we'd
like to see these features in the code, otherwise I think we'd have
reservations as to whether the code was general enough. 

I suppose in the worst case we'd go along with the code so long as hooks
have been left so that the addition of our desired requirements wasn't too
traumatic.
