Comment (by iandunn):

 I'll update the patch to do these things:

 1. Return WP_Error even for non-fatal errors, like with the CC or
 attachment.
   a. If $return == 'wp_error', then it will return a WP_Error if any
 errors occur, and the calling function can decide what to do with them.
   b. If $return == 'bool', though, it will still return true for non-fatal
 errors and false only when $phpmailer->Send() fails.
 2. Change the WP_Error name prefix from "phpmailer" to just "mailer" so
 that it's more generic.
 3. Update retrieve_password() to display the detailed error message,
 rather than the generic one that's currently shown.

 I should have some time for that later this week.

 I started #23311 for the PHPMailer translation issue.
