[Ovmsdev] Push notifications by email

[Michael Balzer]

Mark,

thanks :)

For users running their own server, using some perl script should be no 
issue.

But if you'd like to enable this function on the main server, there 
should be another way to subscribe. IMO best would be a simple checkbox 
or email address entry on the vehicle account management page that 
produces the entry for ovms_notifies.

Adding a vehicle email or using the owner email would be an option too, 
I decided for the notifies because that fits semantically and makes use 
of the existing process and structures without adding complexity. Being 
able to add multiple subscriptions per vehicle is a nice bonus effect. 
Also, more channel types (i.e. Whatsapp or the like) can be added the 
same way.

Regards,
Michael
