I think you are missing my point.  It is not ERMailUtils.instantiatePage that 
is creating a session, it is the content of your component.  The component you 
are e-mailing is using component actions, or referencing session.something, 
that is why it is creating a session (I think, this is what the cause usually 
is).  You can log out a stack trace (new RuntimeException("Session Created 
HERE").printStackTrace() ) in the session constructor to see why and where they 
are being created.  If you examine the component you should be able to see what 
needs to be changed.  If you are mailing out component actions, the recipients 
are not going to be able to use them.

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.

Hi Tim,
It is probably because your email is using component actions instead of direct 
actions.  Component actions require a session and are definitely not what you 
want in an email.  For WOHyperlink, as an example, you need to bind 
directActionName instead of action.

In my app I am tracking session creation - as a way to sniff out some issues 
I've had with some going stray. Anyhow, I am sending NSArray<EOGlobalID> to a 
background task that sends emails using ERMailDeliveryHTML. These are component 
based emails.
Low and behold, each and every one creates a new session. Certainly I 
understand why this could/would happen depending on the contents of the 
component/page.
I am most curiouser about what approaches decent WO folk might use to avoid 
this. This is how I'm abusing things:
  for(Object aPersonGlobalIdObject : approverIds.toArray()) {
       EOGlobalID aGlobalID = (EOGlobalID)aPersonGlobalIdObject;
       MyComponent _component = (MyComponent) 
ERMailUtils.instantiatePage("MyComponent", null);
       _component.setGlobalId(aGlobalID);
       try {
         _component.sendThisComponentToPerson();
       }
other stuff....
}
I had thought ERMailUtils.instantiatePage was made for doing this without 
creating a session? But I must have fooled myself.
