== Emailing ==
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 should work with all major web-based email providers, as well as making it work with separate E-mail applications like [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/thunderbird/ Thunderbird]. (If you're a programmer, <a href="">[http://groups.google.com/group/ubiquity-firefox 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.
Assuming you're logged into your GMail account, issue "email". In the suggestion list, you'll see a suggestion that says "Email (message) (to contact)".

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:
* "email hello"
