/**
* sendfile will create a multipart message with the second
* block of the message being the given file.<p>
*
* This demonstrates how to use the FileDataSource to send
* a file via mail.<p>
*
* usage: <code>java sendfile <i>to from smtp file true|false</i></code>
* where <i>to</i> and <i>from</i> are the destination and
* origin email addresses, respectively, and <i>smtp</i>
* is the hostname of the machine that has smtp server
* running. <i>file</i> is the file to send. The next parameter
* either turns on or turns off debugging during sending.
