[Building Sakai] Mailtool for 2.6

[Clay Fenlason]

I think I might put it a little differently.

Mailsender should still be treated as a contrib tool, and it has a
couple problematic maintenance aspects.  The first is that Carl's
attentions have been divided in recent months.  The second is that the
latest MailSender is really designed to work with a patched
EmailService. It claims to support both its own EmailService and a
patched Sakai one equally well, but as MSND-12 makes clear, the
agnosticism is not complete.
