Example of mail API. (drupal 6)

This example module provides two different examples of the Drupal email API.

  • defines a simple contact form and shows how to use drupal_mail() to send an e-mail (defined in hook_mail()) when the form is submitted.
  • shows how modules can alter emails defined by other Drupal modules or Core using hook_mail_alter by attaching a custom signature before they are sent.

This example is part of the Examples for Developers Project which you can download and experiment with here: http://drupal.org/project/examples
