MessageInterface is the interface that should be implemented by mail message classes.

A message represents the settings and content of an email, such as the sender, recipient, subject, body, etc.

Messages are sent by a mailer, like the following,

Yii::$app->mailer->compose()
    ->setFrom('from@domain.com')
    ->setTo($form->email)
    ->setSubject($form->subject)
    ->setTextBody('Plain text content')
    ->setHtmlBody('<b>HTML content</b>')
    ->send();
