Perhaps I am extraordinarily dense today, but can you please tell me how =
does one do that?

There's a finishInitialization method in ERExtensions which looks =

there is a sharedInstance inherited method there too, it needs some =
"principal class".

I understand that for someone who studied Wonder for years this all is =
self-evident, but I do not see what "principal class" should be; all I =
need is simply to send an e-mail :(

Thanks!

Thanks. I was quite reluctant to do global changes in tested and =
reliable code (session/application) to support some local change (send =
an e-mail from a component), but I've tried anyway in hope it would =
solve the initialization problem outlined above, but indeed it does not =
work: I've replaced WOApplication/WOSession by their ERX variants in my =
code (simply "Application extends ERXApplication", "Session extends =
ERXSession" and appropriate import so as that builds), and then the =
application crashes immediately upon launch:

Probably there are more complex changes which one must do in the project =

Oh sigh. While I do trust Wonder is great for those who want to embrace =
it fully and study its details, does not seem one is able just to use =
its mail without completely re-doing all the rest :(

Best,
