Remarks

Be sure to test this method, fully, before moving your code to the global.asax. Because errors are not raised from inside of the Application_Error method of the global.asax, any problems with your mail servers or email addresses may no be easily traced down.

If "{0}" (without the quotes) is found inside of the EmailMessage subject, aspNetEmail will replace {0} with the server error location.
