Email helper functions
======================
-:doc:`Email Helper <../helpers/email_helper>` only has two functions
+The *Email Helper* only has two functions:
- - :php:func:`valid_email()`
- - :php:func:`send_email()`
+ - ``valid_email()``
+ - ``send_email()``
Both of them are now aliases for PHP's native ``filter_var()`` and ``mail()`` functions, respectively.
-Therefore the :doc:`Email Helper <../helpers/email_helper>` altogether is being deprecated and
-is scheduled for removal in CodeIgniter 3.1+.

.. note:: These functions are still available, but you're strongly encouraged to remove their usage
sooner rather than later.
