Summary of Changes

When extending the MailTemplate class with my own implementation to override the getTemplate(...) method. The send(...) method is still using the original method.

Testing Instructions

Create the file libraries/src/Mail/MailTemplateExtended.php with the following code:

<?php

namespace Joomla\CMS\Mail;

\defined('_JEXEC') or die;

class MailTemplateExtended extends MailTemplate
{
    public static function getTemplate($key, $language)
    {
        exit('hello world');
    }
}

• Initialize the new class:

$mailtemplate = new MailTemplateExtended('com_messages.new_message', 'en-GB');
$mailtemplate->addRecipient('test@example.com');
$mailtemplate->send();

Actual result BEFORE applying this Pull Request

The old getTemplate is called.

Expected result AFTER applying this Pull Request

The script stops with "hello world", which means, the new method is called.
