$mail -> where to put?

This seems to be the canonical way of sending emails in TYPO3.

I have access to the back-end of a typo3 installation via my browser. I have written some HTML code that I want to incorporate into the website via the "plain HTML" widget. That HTML code lets the user input some data. I want to send that data via email. Now I read the above tutorial and I'm asking myself where they want me to put that code? I mean that $GLOBALS stuff and further down that $mail stuff.

The documentation is a developer guide, thus you'll need to implement a plugin or similar with a controller or handler which contains this code.

However, with TYPO3v8 you can easily create forms with the form extension which also allows you to send mails. This is a lot easier if you are not a developer. (The email finisher of the form extension also uses the TYPO3 mailing API of course.)
