Re: how to send an email

[Duncan Mills]

Its pretty simple to plug in the JavaMail API - here's a Utility class I 
call from an Action I use when resetting a User Password: It's quick and 
dirty but provides an example.  The SMTP mail host is read from a 
properties file in this case, but equally could be passed in from the 
Appliciation scope. Note the total lack of  any kind of useful error 
handling in this example - I think I better re-write it :-)
