 * Only the bare essentials of the SMTP protocol are current implemented,
 * although the Message itself supports proper unicode handling.
 *
 * \note Currently only a plain-text SMTP protocol is supported. SSL
 *       transport will be added in the future.
 *
 * \note Currently the client sends an email synchronously, and thus a slow
 *       connection to the SMTP server may block the current thread. We plan
 *       to change this in the future. It is thus beneficial to connect to a
 *       local SMTP daemon to minimize this deficiency.
