It would be convenient to be able to email lists directly from the program, allowing users an easy way to share lists, and make them portable, such as by emailing to a Blackberry device.
Apparently the Web mail services such as GMail, Yahoo, etc., use authentication and different ports for sending mail. User will have to tell the program if it is one of these services or a normal SMTP account. It should be simple enough to support these. Consider initial support for web email services first, desktop clients after that. That should also cover being able to send text to at least some mobile phones as well.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Planning tentatively for 0.3.0 release.
