Automatically generate emails

[ageller]

How will we send out the network???

• I think Tjitske had an idea to automate this.
• If Kari’s file has emails, this would really help.
• Option (A) is to send an email for each match.
• Option (B) is to send one email to each person.
• Will automated emails get flagged as spam? (Might need to think about what email address sends this.)

Option (A) has the benefit of already starting the email thread, but it may result in many emails right in a row.

Option (B) has the benefit that people don't get flooded with a bunch of emails, but it requires one party (presumably the mentor) to contact the mentee.

This will be a lot easier using the namelist.csv added in: f80931c

The final dataframe can also be accessed by from make_namelist_from_directory_export import final. The indices are people's names (though there are spaces in them but that can be changed pretty easily if it becomes a problem) and the columns are roles and email addresses.

People who were not listed in the directory (but were in Kari's list of CIERA members) do not have an email address. Instead I put their NetID which can be used to look-up their email address (we could probably automate this as well somehow).
