email_sender.rb

#
# A helper class to send an email. It will also handle a nil message, which it considers
# to be "do nothing". This is because some Mailers will decide not to do work for some
# reason. For example, emailing a user too frequently. A nil to address is also considered
# "do nothing"
#
# It also adds an HTML part for the plain text body using markdown
#
