One question from me: I am sending an e-mail to one recipient with a subject and body. Then I want to send the same e-mail/a copy to someone else such as the admin. However, when I try to change the to field or the subject I got errors. Zend_Mail does not allow such things.
Yes, adding the next recipient as Bcc is a way but not the preferred one. Is there a way for achieving this kind of job? //set subject //set body //set to send mail //update to //update subject send mail -> gives errors..(something like it does already have a to and subject) thanks scs On Tue, Dec 15, 2009 at 9:17 PM, Alex Howansky <[email protected]> wrote: > >> 1.)
