The Bakery Everything CakePHP

[This is a slightly updated copy of the tutorial on now defunct wiki.cakephp.org]

This example will show you how to send HTML mail from you Cake application with PHPMailer.

You will create:

1. cakePHP component
2. a vendor package
3. view for plain text email body
4. view for HTML email body
5. a function in your controller to send mail.

This tutorial on using PHPMailer with Cake (http://bakery.cakephp.org/articles/view/94) has a comment requesting a component that lets you use the native PHPMailer API. This is possible with PHP5's built-in overloading capabilities.
