Add functionality to Subscribe #4

We need to add some functionality to our subscription based newsletter. Ideally this would mean adding email addresses to our database and sending out newsletters at the click of a button. This means a logged in user would need to be in charge of sending out the newsletter. Significant testing is a must. Subscribers also need a foolproof way to discontinue receiving the newsletter. Perhaps an easy way to do this would be by creating a link in the email sent out with the newsletter to allow the user to unsubscribe. We could possibly do this with PHP, but doing so would mean adding php support to the server. It might be easier to find a django solution. Try this: https://github.com/matthiask/django-newsletter-subscription

Users can now subscribe and unsubscribe from ripples via email. The process is not perfect, there is no resend email button yet and there is still not functionality to actually send the ripples (separate issue). But there is now functionality for users to add and remove themselves from our newsletter.
