A great deal of scripts will have to deal with sending emails, etc, it would be nice to add a Tools.mail, Tools.notification for system notifications etc

I can certainly look into it! Notifications might actually be a bit easier to do than e-mail, depending on how recent the version of PyObjC bundled with OS X is.

Yes but many tools might want to send an email to a webservice (for instance send a mail to idonethis or something else)

I just meant that I should be able to throw together a Notification Center interface by this afternoon, whereas e-mail is a harder beast to tame. I'm also not 100% convinced that there would be many use cases, since Alfred workflows tend to be quick, one-off affairs carried out while the user is sitting right there. But again, I'll look into it.

Great, thanks:)

Alright, the Notification Center interface appears to be provisionally working. As the updated README says, there's currently no way to be alerted that the user clicked the notification, but I'm working on it.

I've now implemented a simple e-mail class as well, so I'm going to go ahead and close this. Please don't hesitate to open another issue if something goes wrong with either of these classes.
