+ If you need to authenticate to your SMTP server, you can call the
+ <code>setAuthentication(userName,password)</code> method before sending
+ your email. This will create an instance of
+ <code>DefaultAuthenticator</code> which will be used by the JavaMail
+ API when the email is sent. Your server must support RFC2554 in
+ order for this to work.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ You can perform a more complex authentication method such as displaying
+ a dialog box to the user by creating a subclass of the
+ <code>javax.mail.Authenticator</code> object. You will need to
+ override the <code>getPasswordAuthentication()</code> method where
+ you will handle collecting the user's information. To make use of
+ your new <code>Authenticator</code> class, use the
+ <code>Email.setAuthenticator</code> method.
