Actually The Realm has such a system, its very basic but the players
did use it for announcing in game functions such as weddings.  Its
functionality is actually pretty simple, you can't know the e-mail
address of everyone on your server so it was nice to be able to just
send a short note to a character name via Magic Mail.
