Simple Error reporting for Maya.Prompts user to send email with compact error report enclosed.

# Simple Error report mechanism squeezing into mailto: character limit
# Created By Jason Dixon. http://internetimagery.com
#
# Wrap the outermost function calls in the Report class
# As a decorator or as a context manager on the outermost function calls
# For instance, decorate your Main() function,
# or any function that is called directly by a GUI
