I would like that very much. Having your email address in the system would
not be compulsory would it? People could unsubscribe from this service if
they were overwhelmed.

I would want the ability to associate multiple email addresses.

BTW, hasn't OSL offered us CPU cycles on a variety of machines for nightly
regression testing? It would be ideal if producing regression results did
not require the attention of individuals.
