better matlab email notifications

One of my officemates asked me how I did my MATLAB email notifications. I had originally done it here. Of course, the machine we work on most didn’t support a mail or msmtp command, so I found an SMTP script, which worked okay, but frustratingly also required Python. On a bit more sleep, it finally occured to me that MATLAB might have an email script.

Turns out, it does. I wrote a little wrapper script around this to abstract out some of the email details.

I posted it at Github: matlab-notify. It lets one run

>> notify('here's a notification');

and have it handle all the emailing(via a gmail server.)
