Fluent interfaces for Zend_Mail

[Unknown User]

Hello,
I think it would be nice if Zend_Mail supports fluent interfaces like
other parts of the framework.

Current usage: http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/zend.mail.html

|$mail = new Zend_Mail();
$mail->setBodyText('This is the text of the mail.')
     ->setFrom('[hidden email]', 'Some Sender')
     ->addTo('[hidden email]', 'Some Recipient')
     ->setSubject('TestSubject')
     ->send();|


Greetings
Waldemar

In general this shouldn't be a problem. But setBodyText() and  
setBodyHtml() both return the Zend_Mime_Part instance. If someone  
needs this he could of course also use getBodyText() and getBodyHtml().

Does someone use the return value of these two set methods? Otherwise  
I'll checkin Zend_Mail with fluent interfaces in my little incubator  
space.

As long as you don't do it for addAttachment() I think it's a good idea,
since there's no easy way to get at the attachment without a return value
(to set the filename, content type, etc.).

You could get the attachment via getParts() as Zend_Mail extends  
Zend_Mime_Message. But I also think that's not a really easy way to  
do it.

I think it would be nice if that could be added to the library  
directly instead of incubator, as it doesn't/shouldn't hurt. So I've  
created a task: http://framework.zend.com/issues/browse/ZF-564 with  
patch.
