If I create a new email template and hit test I get the following An exception has been thrown during the rendering of a template ("Object of class Illuminate\Mail\Message could not be converted to string") followed by the text of the template. Same result if I try and send from php section of a page. Any ideas why?

Are you using the newest version of October? Did you modify anything?

Downloaded wizard install yesterday, can send system emails fine just not ones I create. Might try a composer based install...

Same issue if using a composer based install. Error is: "An exception has been thrown during the rendering of a template ("Object of class Illuminate\Mail\Message could not be converted to string") in "

A support email from: {{name}}

Email: {{email}}

Message: {{message}}

Barfs on Mail::send('test.support', $data, function($message) use ($vars){

$message->to($vars['email'], $vars['name']);

});

Got this working in the end. First the editor was creating twig vars like this {{ subject }} Then I had to remove any vars called {{email}} or {{message}} and it all started working.

Thanks davemcl for your solution, I had the same problem and you saved me a few hours of investigation. I would never think, that you can not use {{email}} and {{message}} in mail template.
