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

[Aaron Zeckoski]

You are only restricting access because there is no paging. I think we
should attempt to specify requirements as they really are. Stating them like
that loses the actual need here. This is more accurate.


   1. we need admin access to the templates to edit default templates.
   2. we need paging for the 'show other templates' link.
