#### Custom plain templates
By default SilverStripe will generate a plain text representation of the email from the HTML body. However if you'd like
to specify your own own plaintext version/template you can use `$email->setPlainTemplate()` to render a custom view of

```php
$email = new Email();
$email->setPlainTemplate('MyPlanTemplate');
$this->send();
```
## Administrator Emails
You can set the default sender address of emails through the `Email.admin_email` [configuration setting](/developer_guides/configuration).
