[GNC] Invoice emailing?

[Simon Roberts]

Also an interesting idea. I'll keep that in mind and in the meantime make a
background task to investigate documentation on how one runs this against a
DB, and what makes any given DB compatible or not. I would be happy to run
it against something like Derby or MySQL. Well, any open source DB that I
can reliably connect to from Java/Scala I guess.

Thanks for the idea Cam, much appreciated.

Cheers,
Simon
