Hi Chuck!

The component that is being emailed isn’t being sent as the result of a user 
action. It is being sent as part of a quartz job. For a bunch of fetched EO’s, 
their global ID’s are passed to a method that uses ERMailUtils.instantiatePage 
to create an instance of the component for each EO. This all happens outside of 
userland.

One thing I did was add Session.terminate in the finally block after

try {_mailDelivery.sendEmail()}

 is called. Not sure if that is necessary.
