        The API distribution includes some good examples. It's
been a while since I looked at it, but the idea is that each
message has a single "Content" object, and a Content object can
be any MIME type, including a multi-part.

        A message begins with something like:

Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(_props, null);
        // _props is a Properties object that includes some
        // JavaMail specific values
Message msg = new Message(session);
InternetAddress from = new InternetAddress("[EMAIL PROTECTED]");
msg.setFrom(from);
InternetAddress[] to = {new InternetAddress("[EMAIL PROTECTED]");}
msg.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO, to);
msg.setSubject("This is the subject...");

        This sets up everything about the message but the content.
If you want to send a simple text message:

msg.setContent("This is the content.", "text/plain");

        AFAICR, sending an attachment means building a Multipart
object from multiple Part objects. I haven't done it, but it didn't
look too tough. Harder than using, say, Pine or Mutt to fire off
the message, but portable.
