/**
 *  Message class
 *
 *  This class is designed to build an email message. You should use this class
 *  to create a message object which is passed to a Transport object which sends
 *  the email.
 *
 *  Here's what I would do to set up a simple Message object:
 *
 *  Message msg = new Message();
 *  msg.setFrom( new Address( "Bill", "bill@coolservlets.com" ) );
 *  msg.setRecipient( RecipientType.TO, new Address( "Matt", "matt@coolservlets.com" ) );
 *  msg.setSubject( "Hello!" );
 *  msg.setText( "Hey Matt. Hope everything is going well...." );
 *
 *  To add a CC recipient, do this:
 *  msg.setRecipient( RecipientType.CC, new Address( "A Friend", "someone@someplace.com" ) );
 *
