8004	Make email functionality more consistent	Django Trac	nobody	"
contrib.auth.models.User has a function email_user 

contrib.core.mail has functions send_mail, mail_managers etc.

For the sake of consistency, could these all be renamed 'email' (ie: send_email). 
Mail could refer to snail-mail - although obviously unlikely.
