Right now, the email command uses [http://mail.google.com Google Mail].  That means you'll only be able to follow along with the next part of the tutorial if you have a GMail account.  Eventually, of course, we'd like to make the command work with all major web-based email providers, as well as making it work with separate E-mail applications like Thunderbird.  (If you're a programmer, <a href="">we'd love some help with that</a>.)  For now, if you have a GMail account, please make sure you're logged in.  If you don't, you might want to skip ahead to the next part of the tutorial.

This is a clue that the Email command expects two pieces of information:  the message is <b>what</b> you're emailing, and the contact is <b>who</b> you want to send it to.  However, you can leave out one of these things -- or both of them -- and the Email command will still work.  So I can issue any of these commands:
