		/* If there is an error, do not go further */
		return;
	    }

		System.out.println("Sending failed: " + error);
		return;
	    }
	    System.out.println("Mail sent succesfully!");

try { Envelope envelope = new Envelope(mailMessage, serverField.getText()); } catch (UnknownHostException e) { /* If there is an error, do not go further */ return; } try { SMTPConnection connection = new SMTPConnection(envelope); connection.send(envelope); connection.close(); } catch (IOException error) { System.out.println("Sending failed: " + error); return; } System.out.println("Mail sent succesfully!");

The error is that it cannot find symbol "envelope in the second try block. Does the scope of try catch not extend outside? Any suggestions on how to go about fixing this?
