-application, but to provide a unified email abstraction that all
-other applications can use.
+It also provides a feeds page combined to a subscription mechanism, that 
+allows to follow documents, and to be constantly updated about recent
+news.
+        
+The main features of the module are :

-      features (see ``email_template`` for example, which adds email
-      templating features to this assistant)
