Roll your own CSS code: not for the faint-hearted. I was a bit premature in suggesting this could be done in less than 20Kb ... I'll be lucky to get around 100Kb.
Here's my list of "must-haves" and "desired":
Responsive grid with same (or similar) class names I am familiar with (Bulma mainly),...

After three reviews of Bulma CSS v1.0.0 ... I think I'll roll my own.
I've come up with a few different ways of taming the bloat:
Start with the "no-dark-theme" version, add the missing "Helpers", modify the eight hard font calls, and remove minireset (replace, actually, with sanitize).
This...

As an update: it's still bloatware and moreso than I originally thought.
I accessed the "no-dark-theme" version. As in the previous article, it is much lighter and came in at 380Kb. But, and this is a big but, it does not match the functionality of version 0.9.4. All of the Helper functions are...

I've had gripes about Bulma pretty much since I started using it.
For example, why would anyone use "columns" and "column" class names ... "columns" to refer to a horizontal row and "column" to refer to a vertical column. Just about every other css framework, at least those claiming to be...

All school PA days off, summers off.

A few assumptions to start. Your installation would have PHPMailer Pro installed off the root of your project as in:
-- assets
-- assets/lib
-- assets/lib/PHPMailer.Pro.php
Using any PHP class starts with loading it. For PHPMailer Pro, that would be:

I really pity anyone that has to support PHP's Mail() function. It's one of the most buggy functions and gets worse with each new release of PHP. I've create many scripts over the years that used the mail() function. It was a support nightmare every time a new release of PHP came out. It hasn't...

I've had a few emails asking how PHPMailer Pro's automated transportation type work.
PHPMailer Pro defaults to using SMTP (un-authenticated). You do not have to specify the server or the port. Although you can specify those, PHPMailer Pro check MX records to identify the server. The port is a...
