Notes

  1. As of version 0.2 this plugin supports plain text, HTML, attachments, or some combination thereof.
  2. sendMail blocks until the mail is sent or until the request times out. You are responsible for making sure it is called off of the EDT so it doesn't affect your application if the SMTP server is not available.
