Multithreaded Email class in Processing

Based on Daniel Shiffman’s Email code, I’ve modified it and changed it to a multithreaded version for sending email in Processing Sketch.

This example allows you to click and add an email in the stack and you can attach a file with it.
You will need to include a folder called “Code” with smtp.jar, pop3.jar, mailapi.jar, imap.jar and activation.jar in your sketch folder. This could be downloaded from Dan’s Example as well.
