Thanks for the reminder. I was knackered last night due to having flown a 
4 1/4 hour soaring flight yesterday PM and that didn't register.

too many ways of specifying the MTA host and login parameters and, worse, 
the design decision to use static methods has prevented these from being 
orthogonal to the methods that send messages.
