You don't need to remember the SMTP format with the headers and stuff, that's 
all. It's a slightly less hackish way of going on about things, and as a 
bonus, you'll know how to use it if you ever wish to send multipart messages 
which are arguably more difficult to encode by hand.

You can do all manners of things with the TMail and RubyMail objects, but you 
probably want to call #to_s on those, which gives you the message prepared 
for sending with SMTP.
