/**
 * Extended {@link org.springframework.mail.MailSender} interface for JavaMail,
 * supporting MIME messages both as direct arguments and through preparation
 * callbacks. Typically used in conjunction with the {@link MimeMessageHelper}
 * class for convenient creation of JavaMail {@link MimeMessage MimeMessages},
 * including attachments etc.
 *
 * <p>Clients should talk to the mail sender through this interface if they need
 * mail functionality beyond {@link org.springframework.mail.SimpleMailMessage}.
 * The production implementation is {@link JavaMailSenderImpl}; for testing,
 * mocks can be created based on this interface. Clients will typically receive
 * the JavaMailSender reference through dependency injection.
 *
 * <p>The recommended way of using this interface is the {@link MimeMessagePreparator}
 * mechanism, possibly using a {@link MimeMessageHelper} for populating the message.
 * See {@link MimeMessageHelper MimeMessageHelper's javadoc} for an example.
 *
 * <p>The entire JavaMail {@link javax.mail.Session} management is abstracted
 * by the JavaMailSender. Client code should not deal with a Session in any way,
 * rather leave the entire JavaMail configuration and resource handling to the
 * JavaMailSender implementation. This also increases testability.
 *
 * <p>A JavaMailSender client is not as easy to test as a plain
 * {@link org.springframework.mail.MailSender} client, but still straightforward
 * compared to traditional JavaMail code: Just let {@link #createMimeMessage()}
 * return a plain {@link MimeMessage} created with a
 * {@code Session.getInstance(new Properties())} call, and check the passed-in
 * messages in your mock implementations of the various {@code send} methods.
