Email Module For Kohana 3.x
===========================

[](#email-module-for-kohana-3x)

Factory-based email class. This class is a simple wrapper around [Swiftmailer](http://github.com/swiftmailer/swiftmailer).

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Create new messages using the `Email::factory($subject, $message)` method. Add recipients, add sender, send message:

```
$email = Email::factory('Hello, World', 'This is my body, it is nice.')
    ->to('person@example.com')
    ->from('you@example.com', 'My Name')
    ->send()
    ;

```

You can also add HTML to your message:

```
$email->message('This is my body, it is nice.', 'text/html');

```

Additional recipients can be added using the `to()`, `cc()`, and `bcc()` methods.

Additional senders can be added using the `from()` and `reply_to()` methods. If multiple sender addresses are specified, you need to set the actual sender of the message using the `sender()` method. Set the bounce recipient by using the `return_path()` method.

To access and modify the [Swiftmailer message](http://swiftmailer.org/docs/messages) directly, use the `raw_message()` method.

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

Configuration is stored in `config/email.php`. Options are dependant upon transport method used. Consult the Swiftmailer documentation for options available to each transport.
