Expect the email to be sent

Tried on Linux and Windows using Firefox 3 and IE7

I looked in the MySQL database before and after hitting "save" for the

Strange...I just tried again and the setting was saved.  However, email is still not
sent.

There's a bug that has to do with multiple Python instances (in fastcgi forked or
mod_python). If you restart the server after saving settings, it should work.
