[Contrib: Evaluation System] My Email Templates for non-admin users?

I think that's a bug that we were aware of but didn't prioritize highly -- if you're already on the Administrate page then you're presumably actively thinking about changing the behavior of the system. The real risk was having the links on the summary page (the main landing pad of the tool) and those were removed.

We also don't use that functionality since these items are defined outside of our Sakai implementation so having them there was not useful and potentially dangerous in our case.
