      A test email is sent using the current method and settings.

Of course, be sure your site email address is correct before doing so.<br /><br />';

      Emails may be sent either in plain text only, or in HTML format. The latter generally gives a better appearance, but is more prone to being filtered by various
      security measures. If you select HTML, a separate plain text part is added.<br /><br />';
      $text .= '<b>Bulk mail controls</b><br />
      The values you set here will depend on your host, and on the number of emails you send; it may be possible to set all values to zero so that the
      mail queue is emptied virtually instantly. Typically it is best to send less than 500 emails per hour.<br /><br />';

      You can specify an email address to receive the return response when an email is undeliverable. If you have control over your server, you can specify the
      separate scheduler-driven auto-processing script; this receives bounce messages as they arrive, and updates status instantly. Otherwise you can specify a separate email account,
      which can be checked either periodically (using the scheduler), or manually via the user options menu. Normally this will be a standard
      POP3 account; use the TLS-related options only if specifically required by your host<br /><br />';

      The logging option creates a text file in the system log directory. This must be deleted periodically. The \'logging
      only\' options allow you to see exactly who would receive emails if actually sent. The \'with errors\' option fails every
      7th email, primarily for testing';
