Alter an email message created with MailManagerInterface->mail().

Hook hook_mail_alter() allows modification of email messages created and sent with MailManagerInterface->mail(). Usage examples include adding and/or changing message text, message fields, and message headers.

Email messages sent using functions other than MailManagerInterface->mail() will not invoke hook_mail_alter(). For example, a contributed module directly calling the MailInterface->mail() or PHP mail() function will not invoke this hook. All core modules use MailManagerInterface->mail() for messaging, it is best practice but not mandatory in contributed modules.

Parameters

$message: An array containing the message data. Keys in this array include:

• 'id': The MailManagerInterface->mail() id of the message. Look at module source code or MailManagerInterface->mail() for possible id values.
• 'to': The address or addresses the message will be sent to. The formatting of this string must comply with RFC 2822.
• 'from': The address the message will be marked as being from, which is either a custom address or the site-wide default email address.
• 'subject': Subject of the email to be sent. This must not contain any newline characters, or the email may not be sent properly.
• 'body': An array of strings or objects that implement \Drupal\Component\Render\MarkupInterface containing the message text. The message body is created by concatenating the individual array strings into a single text string using "\n\n" as a separator.
• 'headers': Associative array containing mail headers, such as From, Sender, MIME-Version, Content-Type, etc.
• 'params': An array of optional parameters supplied by the caller of MailManagerInterface->mail() that is used to build the message before hook_mail_alter() is invoked.
• 'langcode': The langcode used to build the message before invoking hook_mail_alter().
• 'send': Set to FALSE to abort sending this email message.
