/**
 * An HTML multipart email.
 *
 * <p>This class is used to send HTML formatted email.  A text message
 * can also be set for HTML unaware email clients, such as text-based
 * email clients.
 *
 * <p>This class also inherits from {@link MultiPartEmail}, so it is easy to
 * add attachments to the email.
 *
 * <p>To send an email in HTML, one should create a HtmlEmail, then
 * use the {@link #setFrom(String)}, {@link #addTo(String)} etc. methods.
 * The HTML content can be set with the {@link #setHtmlMsg(String)} method. The
 * alternative text content can be set with {@link #setTextMsg(String)}.
 *
 * <p>Either the text or HTML can be omitted, in which case the "main"
 * part of the multipart becomes whichever is supplied rather than a
 * <code>multipart/alternative.
 *
 * <h3>Embedding Images and Media
 *
 * <p>It is also possible to embed URLs, files, or arbitrary
 * <code>DataSources directly into the body of the mail:
 * <pre>
 * HtmlEmail he = new HtmlEmail();
 * File img = new File("my/image.gif");
 * PNGDataSource png = new PNGDataSource(decodedPNGOutputStream); // a custom class
 * StringBuffer msg = new StringBuffer();
 * msg.append("<html><body>");
 * msg.append("<img src=cid:").append(he.embed(img)).append(">");
 * msg.append("<img src=cid:").append(he.embed(png)).append(">");
 * msg.append("</body></html>");
 * he.setHtmlMsg(msg.toString());
 * // code to set the other email fields (not shown)
 * </pre>
 *
 * <p>Embedded entities are tracked by their name, which for Files is
 * the filename itself and for <code>URLs is the canonical path. It is
 * an error to bind the same name to more than one entity, and this class will
 * attempt to validate that for <code>Files and URLs. When
 * embedding a <code>DataSource, the code uses the equals()
 * method defined on the <code>DataSources to make the determination.
