Thanks Chris (& Eric),

Looks like we are fine as things stand: continue to
encourage the user to set the email (with a warning
if omitted), and try to encourage them to override the
tool parameter if appropriate (e.g. if part of a larger
application like a Galaxy workflow).

[I don't see any point in forcing people to invent
tool names for each of their one off Entrez scripts,
or interactive sessions - defaulting to BioPerl etc
here seems sane]
