15539	wp_mail() should allow using PHPmailer's SMTP feature	mastermind		"{{{wp_mail()}}} is able to use an already existing instance of PHPmailer. Unfortunately, all settings from the existing instance are then reset.


While this makes sense for things like addresses and subject, it is very bad that {{{$phpmailer->IsMail()}}} is called.

This makes it impossible to create and configure an own instance for usage with a remote MTA.

Possible solutions:

1. Simply omit the call to {{{$phpmailer->IsMail()}}}, as {{{'mail'}}} is already the default value.

2. Move the call of {{{$phpmailer->IsMail()}}} into the {{{if}}} statement at the beginning of the {{{wp_mail()}}} function, so it will only be set if the instance is not set.

3. Add a parameter to the signature of {{{wp_mail()}}} which allows to set the desired MTA backend.
