$mail->sendHTML() method

Send an email with given message text assumed to be HTML

This is just like the $mail->send() method with the exception that the body argument is assumed to be HTML rather than text. Note that the text version of the email is auto generated from the HTML, unless a body is provided in the $options array.

Usage

// basic usage
$int = $mail->sendHTML();

// usage with all arguments
$int = $mail->sendHTML($to = '', string $from = '', string $subject = '', string $bodyHTML = '', $options = []);
