[Building Sakai] EmailService, SSL, TLS

Hi David, Carl,

Why not just change m_smtpUseSSL to m_smtpUseTLS as well as changing the 
name of the sakai.properties prop to smtpUseTLS? smtpUseSSL was a bad 
choice of parameter name; I hold my hand up :) It is off by default 
though, isn't it? If the parameter is not specified, or is false, the 
property is not set.

Cheers,

Adrian.
