Jere,
You were right, you needed to do "throw new Exception..."
Good to hear you're working with the package. I'm actually working on a
new set of email classes -- ones that are designed better and do better
error checking. They should hopefully be out by Thursday. I'd encourage
you to download them and try them out!
Also, we apologize if anyone's been having problems with our site
(www.coolsevlets.com). Our service provider's servlet support has been
pretty spotty as of late....
