Make python / mail-merge debuggable

Background: We have a mail-merge module, which uses the python mail API that we
bundle. The code lives in scripting/source/pyprov/ and (of course) can be
edited and tweaked at run time. Unfortunately, we have a steady flow of bugs
from this code - which are primarily around error reporting: if people enter
bad server information, or wrong port numbers, or have any number of problems -
the error reporting is terrible. Thus we get lots of reports of the form "it
doesn't work". We really need better diagnostic, and preferably GUI feedback
from the delivery code to help here.

Skills: python
