Type Exception Handling for the Mail Helper

[thinkingserious]

Issue Summary

The appropriate types necessary for a successful mail/send API call is documented here. We want to throw a type exception when the wrong type is provided.

Acceptance Criteria

• All parameters for the mail\send endpoint are type checked and if they fail the type check and exception is thrown with instructions on how to fix

I noticed you have well defined docstrings in the helper classes, which can be used to type check. Would that kind of an implementation work for you?

@runz0rd

Are you referring to static type checking like mypy? I'm not exactly sure but @thinkingserious might be referring to raising an exception at runtime instead?

[runz0rd]

Parse the docstring, get the types and check against values at runtime.

@runz0rd

Why would you parse the docstring at runtime? How often do these types really change?

[runz0rd]

Perhaps I misunderstood the requirements here.
Im not expecting them to change. Parsing the docstring for the types is an alternative to having to write each of them again (when type checking the mail helper arguments).
