I have a related question, for the email system we're about to launch: -should we enable OpenID before launch - or should we integrate it later? - or just forget about it? (unless bazillions of users request it)

Depends on a few variables...Time frame for launching, ease of integration, etc, etc.

Ignoring those... As a user of OpenID I would vote for enabling before going live (one less new account to create). I have typically noticed its the legacy sites (pre OpenID) that are integrating, whereas most new services looking to leverage the service have it ready for go-live.
