Description

This is a basic emailer and shortcode, designed to display a mail form for a contact page. It will post a
plaintext email to a provided email address.

Shortcode

The shortcode generated for your account will look like
‘[plainmail header=”a header” mailto=”your_account_name”](introductory text)[/plainmail]’.

Place that shortcode into a page to generate an email form for the email you associated with that account. Between the [plainmail][/plainmail] tags you can put some introductory text for the form. Note that anything
here will be escaped, so html will not render.

Administration

When a message is sent to you, you will see the email headers appear in the settings area. The body of the message itself is not saved. Headers are set by default to auto-delete after 24 hours but you can also delete headers manually. Only up to
50 headers will be displayed.

Installation

  1. Upload plugin-name.php to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
  2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
  3. In “Plainmail” under the settings tab, By default, the email
    associated with your account will be used as the mailing address. Change
    this if you want with the update email form.
