Many thanks nic. I will put try block in the object
creation. I hope it will work. I was thining that
having a static boalean method that sends the mail in
that outside class. So the method returns true if the
email was sent or false if email was not sent. what do
you think of that approach?
sorry for this being off-topic.
thanks
roy
