AddOn SendMail Behaviour

[jeronymite]

The AddOn SendMail method produces a message in Output Tab 1: "Email - Message sent successfully". This is undesirable as it is an AddOn variant of SendMail and hence the complexity of the developer's code is notionally greater and the handling of circumstances by the programmer should be equally more nuanced. It also presumes on the output stream of the AddOn, where, again, the environment is more likely to be intended to be under the control of the programmer. There also seems to be no similar error message if the email fails to be sent. This inconsistency is not helpful.

Enhancement requests:

1. Make display of the message optional and able to be to either Output tab
2. If being produced, make it meaningful in all circumstances, be it success or failure
3. Make the method return at least a bool indicating success or failure, or preferably, a return status that has an associated enum indicating success, various errors, etc.

Thanks.
