[wp-hackers] Customize Wordpress Emails

[Ryan Bilesky]

Ultimately I looked at every reference to wp_mail() and only found 2 that
send actual emails that I personally would find useful for my needs, the
forgot password emails and new user welcome emails.

I have opted to use the pluggability of the function to replace it with my
own version:

if ( !function_exists('wp_mail') ) :
function wp_mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers = '', $attachments =
array()) {
 return true;
}
endif;

and to take care of those emails I want I am using a hook for the forgot
password emails, and the new users emails are done in another pluggable
function I am replacing.

So that's how I've decided to deal with this, thanks all for your help.
I've learned something new about Wordpress, pluggable functions.
