function email_example_mail_alter

Implements hook_mail_alter().

This function is not required to send an email using Drupal's mail system.

Hook_mail_alter() provides an interface to alter any aspect of email sent by Drupal. You can use this hook to add a common site footer to all outgoing email, add extra header fields, and/or modify the email in anyway. HTML-izing the outgoing email is one possibility.
