README.txt in Mail System 6.2

[1]Mail System

   Provides an Administrative UI and Developers API for safely updating
   the [2]mail_system configuration variable.

   The 6.x branch also provides a Drupal-6 backport of the Drupal-7 mail
   system.

  (New) [3]Requirement

     * [4]Autoload 6.x-2.x

  Administrative UI

   The administrative interface is at admin/settings/mailsystem. A
   [5]screenshot is available.

  Used by:

     * [6]HTML Mail
     * [7]Mime Mail 7.x-1.x-dev
     * [8]Postmark 7.x-1.x

  Developers API

   A module example with a [9]MailSystemInterface implementation called
   ExampleMailSystem should add the following in its example.install file:
/**
 * Implements hook_enable().
 */
function example_enable() {
  mailsystem_set(array('example' => 'ExampleMailSystem'));
}
/**
 * Implements hook_disable().
 */
function example_disable() {
  mailsystem_clear(array('example' => 'ExampleMailSystem'));
}


   The above settings allow mail sent by example to use ExampleMailSystem.
   To make ExampleMailSystem the site-wide default for sending mail:
mailsystem_set(array(mailsystem_default_id() => 'ExampleMailSystem'));


   To restore the default mail system:
mailsystem_set(array(mailsystem_default_id() => mailsystem_default_value()));


   Or simply:
mailsystem_set(mailsystem_defaults());


   If module example relies on dependency foo and its FooMailSystem class,
   then the example.install code should like like this:
/**
 * Implements hook_enable().
 */
function example_enable() {
  mailsystem_set(array('example' => 'FooMailSystem'));
}
/**
 * Implements hook_disable().
 */
function example_disable() {
  mailsystem_clear(array('example' => ''));
}


   If module example only wants to use FooMailSystem when sending emails
   with a key of examail, then the example.install code should look like
   this:
/**
 * Implements hook_enable().
 */
function example_enable() {
  mailsystem_set(array('example_examail' => 'FooMailSystem'));
}
/**
 * Implements hook_disable().
 */
function example_disable() {
  mailsystem_clear(array('example_examail' => ''));
}


    (New in 2.x branch)

   To change the site-wide defaults to use the FooMailSystem for
   formatting messages and the BarMailSystem for sending them:
mailsystem_set(
  array(
    mailsystem_default_id() => array(
      'format' => 'FooMailSystem',
      'mail' => 'BarMailSystem',
    ),
  )
);


   To change the site-wide defaults to use the FooMailSystem for sending
   messages, while continuing to use the current system for formatting
   them:
mailsystem_set(
  array(
    mailsystem_default_id() => array(
      'mail' => 'FooMailsystem',
    ),
  )
);
