I don't believe an email message is sent. When the reviewer logs in,
they should see the items. The reviewer clicks on the 'manage item'
link, and is presented with the review sheet, where they can approve,
disapprove, set visibility date, etc.. IIRC, they may even see something
about it in the toolbox to the left of the Portal's index-html page.

G'day again, Timothy. Email generation is not implemented in the demo
portal. I aught to do that to provide an example. What you need to do is
put a method called 'before_review' on your Portal object. See the one on
PortalObject for the signature. This method gives you an opportunity to
munge the request, generate email, etc, before the review is applied. You
are expected to return a tuple in the same form as the method's
signature. (That is, return action, review_state, comments).

I'll place a before_review method on the DemoPortal Portal which
demonstrates this.

Mike.
