function drupal_mail_send in Drupal 6

Send an e-mail message, using Drupal variables and default settings. More information in the <a href="http://php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php"> PHP function reference for mail()</a>. See drupal_mail() for information on how $message is composed.

Parameters

$message: Message array with at least the following elements:

  • id: A unique identifier of the e-mail type. Examples: 'contact_user_copy', 'user_password_reset'.
  • to: The mail address or addresses where the message will be sent to. The formatting of this string must comply with RFC 5322. Some examples are:

  • subject: Subject of the e-mail to be sent. This must not contain any newline characters, or the mail may not be sent properly.
  • body: Message to be sent. Accepts both CRLF and LF line-endings. E-mail bodies must be wrapped. You can use drupal_wrap_mail() for smart plain text wrapping.
