debug/echo wordpress emails

[numediaweb]

in a testing environment, devs and theme designers needs a way to debug the sent emails from wordpress without actually sending real emails "outside":
We need a menu/function/variable where we set a debug mode for emails, that way wordpress knows that we don't want to send real emails outside but just a test: this way it echos back the email.

"Debug WordPress Emails" sounds like an excellent name for a plugin. :-)

And the code is half written for you too.

You can just create a derived class to do this.
