Send-EmailMessage.ps1

1. <# 
2. .SYNOPSIS 
3.     This script creates and sends an SMTP email message. 
4. .DESCRIPTION 
5.     This script first creates a System.Net.Mail.Mailmessage, and populates 
6.     it. Next, it creates an system.Net.Mail.SmtpClient, which then sends 
7.     the message to the SMTP Server, and onwards transmission. This script 
8.     is effectively a re-write of the C# sample above.
