Background
The Messaging Module allows you to send and receive all kinds of messages - SMS, email, and inter-user messages (called OMail). It also helps users handle various ancillary aspects of messaging, including managing addresses and browsing past conversations. Lastly, it has an easy-to-use API that other modules can use to incorporate messaging into their own projects.
The Messaging Module was created by ~dieterichlawson Unlicensed user and ~jeremy Unlicensed user, and it will be used for projects in Kenya and several other countries in the near future.
