Actually I like the e-mail idea, I just wish it were easier. The OGR-22
and -23 efforts had a feature that made it very easy to e-mail them with
results. A *button* on their web page and a place to put the file name.

Now it would be nice to get an acknowledgement to the e-mail instead of
having to look up your stats to verify that your effort was credited.
This could be done with a daemon.

The problem that I have with this feature is that it deletes the results
after you send them. On a number of occasions DNet has lost my
results. If there were a backup copy, as in this effort, then days of
effort would not be lost.
