I disagree on having a simple email layer among the default logger,
because I feel that having this "special" logger in would water the
design of the logging module. Maybe you are happy with a simple string
message mail with fixed subject and sender, the next guy will not. And
he will be asking for it and (we || I ) have to tell him, why the simple
one is in and his version is not. I would rather have a minimal
std(io|err), file logger version which is pure and easy to mod.
