Note that in most cases you can get by with EMF_NORMAL. The next four flags (EMF_LEAVEOPEN, EMF_ALREADYOPEN, EMF_OPENONLY, and EMF_CLOSEONLY) are only of interest if you are sending a lot of emails in a batch and want to eliminate the overhead of having to open and close the connection with the SMTP server for each message. EMF_HDRCAT is only used when you want to include email header items in both the header and body parameters. And EMF_HTMLBODY is only recommended when you have used your own HTML formatting within the body of your message.
