Send Email With Powershell

This is a basic Powershell script that will allow you to send an email. With that said, I want to point out that the top of the enclosed script has a comments section that includes filename, author, created date and a basic description of the script. While the name of the script is typically indicative of its function, using a comments block will help define any details that may need to be pointed out to others reading you work. This becomes even more important as you begin to build a script library. I cant ever say it enough, comment, comment, comment!!!!
