Joomla 3.4.3 mail function

Question

I built a custom component using the $mail = JFactory::getMailer(); as shown on this page: https://docs.joomla.org/Sending_email_from_extensions.

I'm using mailtrap.io to catch the sent mail for testing.

It worked fine for all the Joomla 3.4 releases until 3.4.3, at which point it no longer works. The mail still gets sent, but unless I set the $mail->isHTML(true); flag, there's no body content in the message (subject, reply to, etc. still gets through fine).

If I var_dump the $mail variable, the $body content appears correct-- it's not that the variable isn't being set. It seems like it's just not making it out the door.

Has anyone run into this?

I have tested the case on sendgrid. It works OK with text or html mails.

    $mailer = JFactory::getMailer();
    $config = JFactory::getConfig();
    $sender = array(
            $config->get($this->get('mail_sender_email')),
            $config->get($this->get('mail_sender_name'))
    );
    $mailer->setSender($sender);        
    $mailer->isHtml(false); // Or, true
    $mailer->SetFrom($sender_mail, $sender_name);
    $mailer->AddAddress($recipient_mail);
    $mailer->Subject = 'A Subject';
    $mailer->Body = '<p>Body</p>';
    $mailer->Send();

I guess you should have some incompatibility with mailtrap.
