I need some help with the following display.  I want:

    N
  ____
  \    E             That is, I want to annotate the summation sign with
   \                 an E.
  /___
  i = 2

I tried

	\mathop{{\sum}^E}_{i=2}^N

which is fine except that the N is centered over the sum and the E,
so it is too far to the right.  I also tried

	{\sum_{i=2}^N}^E

which puts the E too far from the summation sign.

Is there a simple solution?
