Software system developers have to communicate about the project they are building. Especially when they work in open source projects and they are spread all over the world, developers use emails to communicate.
Studies tell us that emails are, by far, the most used means of communication used during the development, opposed to instant messaging, commits, or code comments. Therefore, we can imagine that development mailing lists contain essential information concerning various entities of the source code, that unfortunately gets lost with time, since they are not easy to retrieve.
REmail 2.0 can automatically show you emails related to the class you are working on.
You can select any of the related emails and read its content!
The email will be shown in a nice format, to ease your reading.

You need to send and email to the mailing list, but you find boring to leave your IDE and go to your email client. Maybe, you have to do this multiple time to put some code in your email.
