Usage

// send an email with TEXT-only body
EmailSender.subject("Hello").to("[email protected]").cc("[email protected]").text("body as text").send();

// send an email with HTML + TEXT version of the body
EmailSender.subject("Hello").to("[email protected]").text("body as text").html("<html><body>body as html</body></html>").send();

// send an email with HTML body + two attachments
EmailSender.subject("..").to("..").html("..").attach("my.pdf", "application/pdf", pdfBytes).attach("me.png", "image/png", pngBytes).send();

Awesome

Pretty smart ;-)
