Jup that was the way to go!
Mind you I was not against using a model, just didn't had one...
So I made a mail-model, and it validates email (and subject and text
not being empty)... I now use it on different places in my site via:
$this->Mail->set( $this->data );
if ($this->Mail->validates()) {
//do actions when validated
}
Sometimes I just need to validate an e-mail, without actually sending
a mail, for instance, to store just email of a client in a database, I
just manually populate the subject and text fields with dummy-text
just before, so they always pass the validation, and then the email
field is correctly validated!
Thanks!
