/**
 * This class demonstrates sending an already-built RFC822 message via SMTP
 * by extending PHPMailer's SMTP class.
 * It uses less memory that PHPMailer's usual approach because it keeps
 * the message as a single string rather than splitting its lines into
 * an array, which can consume very large amounts of memory if you have
 * large attachments. The downside is that it's somewhat slower.
 * This is mainly of academic interest, but shows how you can change how
 * core classes work without having to alter the library itself.
