        Zend_Mail provides generalized functionality to compose and send both text and MIME-compliant
        multipart e-mail messages. Mail can be sent with Zend_Mail via the php built-in
        mail() function or via direct SMTP connection.
    
Example 20.1. Simple E-Mail with Zend_Mail
            A simple e-mail consists of some recipients, a subject, a body and a sender. To send such a mail using
            the PHP mail() function, do the following:
        
<?php
require_once 'Zend/Mail.php';
$mail = new Zend_Mail();
$mail->setBodyText('This is the text of the mail.');
$mail->setFrom('somebody@example.com', 'Some Sender');
$mail->addTo('somebody_else@example.com', 'Some Recipient');
$mail->setSubject('TestSubject');
$mail->send();
?>

        For most mail attributes there are "get" methods to read the information stored in the mail object. For
        further details, please refer to the API documentation. A special one is getRecipients().
        It returns an array with all recipient e-mail addresses that were added prior to the method call.
    
        For security reasons, Zend_Mail filters all header fields to prevent header injection with
        newline (\n) characters.
