   What are the major differences between the wp_mail() function and PHP's default mail() function?

   I am currently creating a plugin that sends email and want to know which is the preferred method.

   I think wp_mail() uses the default php mail() function.

   Yeah, I have read that else where, but then I ask myself, if that's the case, then why does it exist?? I mean why create a function that does the exact same thing that the default does?

   I think its because you can add other functions and variables that are inside WordPress without calling them. Like adding categories, tags etc.
