A change of heart...

I thought the Apache Commons Email library was a silly idea, a simple wrapper for JavaMail? Why, I thought. Then I used it; it's a great "no worries" library for sending email, and as it rides atop of JavaMail so you can still use JavaMail when you actually need it. It's interesting to see how the reasonable and sensible abstractions of the JavaMail API make the world more complex when you want to do the simple things. Apache Commons Email makes the simple things simple again. Hussah. (And now back to wrapping up an article on that subject....)
