That's definitely something to revisit.  I'd love to kill off those
EPlugins.  For the time being, though, I have to limit my scope since
I'm trying to finish off my account-mgmt branch as fast as possible.

If you have some further thoughts on making that more versatile, I'd
suggest jotting down a few notes on a wiki page and then I can come back
to it later in the year.  I assume such enhancements could also apply to
the 'Sending E-mail' tab, even if there's less need for that.
