[midPoint] Email Notification

[Jason Everling]

Ah ok, so the GeneralNotifier is more or less what I would use then so I
could customize the message and such, more testing and reading.

I was taking a look at the code on github for those notifiers and I think I
could go in and change some stuff if I cannot get the general notifier to
work like I would like it.

Would there happen to be any samples for the General Notifier anywhere,
maybe complex or one's that have the body? I see the simple and others
which I have gotten to work but I would like to customize the body and such
so the general might be what I am looking for.

I saw it on the roadmap, sorry, I though it was under 3.1 but currently has
no timeframe

Thanks!
