020 * This interface defines a strategy for sending simple mails. Can be

022 * For richer functionality like MIME messages, consider JavaMailSender.
023 *
024 * <p>Allows for easy testing of clients, as it does not depend on JavaMail's
025 * infrastructure classes: no mocking of JavaMail Session or Transport necessary.
