Pimcore Mail

The Pimcore\Mail Class extends the Symfony\Component\Mime\Email Class and adds some features for the usage with Pimcore.

If email settings are configured in your config/config.yaml then on initializing Pimcore\Mail object, these settings applied automatically. It is required to configure email settings prior to using Pimcore\Mail.

The Pimcore\Mail Class automatically takes care of the nasty stuff (embedding CSS, normalizing URLs and Twig expressions ...). Note that all CSS files are embedded to the html with a <style> tag because the image paths are also normalized.
