/***********************************************************************
 * This class could be used for sending mails using PHPMailer
 *
 * In file where you wish to send a mail but doesn't bother if it
 * filed or not. (Note that you does not have to include PHPMailer in
 * this file. This is because it is never actually called.)
 * include_once(INCLUDE_PATH_TO_LOCO.'/loco.php');
 * $mail = new GoLOCO('PHPMailer');
 * $mail->IsHTML();
 * $mail->AddAddress('tb@bytecode.se', 'Thomas');
 * $mail->Subject = 'GoLOCO test';
 * $mail->Body = 'This mail is sent by using <strong>GoLOCO</strong>';
 * $mail->__locosave(SAVEPATH.'/filename.loco');
 *
 *
 * Then there might be a cronjob running in the background calling
 * another file containing this code:
 *
 * include_once(INCLUDE_PATH_TO_PHPMAILER.'/class.phpmailer.php');
 * include_once(INCLUDE_PATH_TO_LOCO.'/loco.php');
 * $send = new GoLOCO();
 * $send->__locoload(SAVEPATH.'/filename.loco');
 * $send->__locogo('Send');
 *
 * One of the major advantages using this method is that you can create
 * a mail by using information specific to a specific context in
 * another context without having to bother to recreate the original
 * context.
 *
 * Another example of using context information is when you wish to
 * perform timeconsuming tasks without delaying the current request.
 * Just create a LOCO-object and call the appropriate functions and set
 * the appropriate variables and then save it to disk. Then use a
 * cronjob to perform the heavy work in the background.
