 * Hello,
 * i have one plugin which sending notifications emails. Function for send mail 
   is here:
 *     ```
       public static function sendEmail($email)
               {
                   require_once(ABSPATH . WPINC . '/class-phpmailer.php');
                   $mail = new PHPMailer ();
                   $mail->AddAddress($email ["to"]);
                   $mail->IsMail();
                   $mail->IsHTML();
                   $mail->From = $email ["from"];
                   $mail->FromName = $email ["from_name"];
                   $mail->Subject = $email ["subject"];
                   $mail->Body = $email ["body"];
                   $rst = $mail->Send();
                   return $rst;
               }
       ```

       public static function sendEmail($email)
               {
                   require_once(ABSPATH . WPINC . '/class-phpmailer.php');
                   $mail = new PHPMailer ();
                   $mail->AddAddress($email ["to"]);
                   $mail->IsMail();
                   $mail->IsHTML();
   
                   $mail->setCharset = "UTF-8";
   
                   $mail->From = $email ["from"];
                   $mail->FromName = $email ["from_name"];
                   $mail->Subject = $email ["subject"];
                   $mail->Body = $email ["body"];
