I also agree that `newissuecopy.py' is important.  After reading the
config comments:

  # The 'dispatcher' is a role that can get notified
  # of new items to the database.

It seems to me that DISPATCHER_EMAIL should be notified of all new
items, not just bounced messages as is currently hardcoded into
Mailer.bounce_message.

I've attached a tweaked version of `newissuecopy.py' that implements
this for all items.  I thing that a number of email-generating methods
from IssueClass should actually be Item methods, so they can also be
used on non-Issue nodes.  This would remove a lot of the duplicated
code from my `newitemcopy.py'
