 * MailerInterface is the interface that should be implemented by mailer classes.
 *
 * A mailer should mainly support creating and sending [[MessageInterface|mail messages]]. It should
 * also support composition of the message body through the view rendering mechanism. For example,
 *
 * ```php
 * Yii::$app->mailer->compose('contact/html', ['contactForm' => $form])
 *     ->setFrom('from@domain.com')
 *     ->setTo($form->email)
 *     ->setSubject($form->subject)
 *     ->send();
 * ```

     * @return MessageInterface message instance.
