that is the only version, but it should - I haven't worked on
it since, nor have I used it myself ... I got flamed for making
it ;) and I have to say I agree with Monte and the others now -
email sending functionality does not belong in a plugin, it
should be kept in PHP instead, where the designer can't touch it.

see this follow up on my post:

A better solution is to use this alternative send_mail function
in your PHP script:

function send_mail($myname, $myemail, $contactname, $contactemail, $subject, 
$message) {
  $headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\n";
  $headers .= "Content-type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1\n";
  $headers .= "X-Priority: 1\n";
  $headers .= "X-MSMail-Priority: High\n";
  $headers .= "X-Mailer: php\n";
  $headers .= "From: \"".$myname."\" <".$myemail.">\n";
  return(mail("\"".$contactname."\" <".$contactemail.">", $subject, $message, 
$headers));
}

And then keep your email message in a template by itself, separate
from your HTML - render it and send it from your script like so:

send_mail("me", "me@xxxxxx", "you", "you@xxxxxxx", "Hey, You!", 
$smarty->fetch("my_email.tpl"));

the rest of the list will probably agree with me when I say, this
is the most appropriate way to do it? :)
