        'create the mail message
        Dim mail As New Net.Mail.MailMessage()

        'set the addresses
        mail.From = New Net.Mail.MailAddress("admin@shotdrive.com")
        mail.To.Add("scripter@tampabay.rr.com")

        'set the content
        mail.Subject = "This is an email"
        mail.Body = "this is the body content of the email."

        'send the message
