PicoMailFormsPlugin
===================

[](#picomailformsplugin)

PicoMailForms is a plugin for [Pico](http://picocms.org/) which allows you to define a form and send a mails to a configured smtp server on submitting.

Forms can be written entirely in Markdown using custom markdown extensions. The mail is then being sent using [PHPMailer](https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer).

PicoMailForms has been developed keeping CleanCode in mind. Unfortunately I'm not very familiar with PHP and the UnitTest coverage is therefore low. The IntegrationTest coverage reaches 98%.
Pull requests are welcome!
