Rebol's out; Python's in

Until now, I've been sending the TEA Times using a free but closed-source scripting engine known as Rebol. It's cross-platform, which has allowed me to send emails from Windows, Mac or Linux machines (depending on where I happen to be sitting).

No more. A one-page Python script now does the job quite nicely, and with far less overhead than the Rebol engine requires. The list of recipients is still in the form of a flat text file; one of these days I'll break that list into three -- for Transit, Wastewater, and Other.
