This works to send an email to the currently logged in user when used in a function in a model for a component and called from a view:
$user =& JFactory::getUser();
$message =& JFactory::getMailer();
$message->addRecipient($user->email);
$message->setSubject('Your subject string');
$message->setBody("Your body string\nin double quotes if you want to parse the \nnewlines etc");
$sender = array( 'sender@email.address.org', 'Sender Name' );
$message->setSender($sender);
$sent = $message->send();
if ($sent != 1) echo 'Error sending email';
