Comment (by stephenharris):

 The `global $phpmailer` was introduced when PHPMailer was introduced in
 this change [3862]. I can't determine as to why it was implemented like
 that, but in the interest of backwards compatibility I'm tempted to say
 leave it.

 What I think we should probably consider though, is destroying and
 recreating a new PHPMailer instance each time. This would fix #33972.

 In addition to the tickets mentioned in the description, this would also
 provide a work-around for #31775
