The plugin event offer as input the mailer object, then you can access and set mailer variables. For example to get the Body before you can use rawBody variables. Since mailer have a public function to do own replacement, you can update the raw body and do the replacement after.
A sample code can be :
$mailer = $this->getEvent()->get(mailer);
$rawBody = $mailer->rawBody;
// Clean up code
$oPurifier = new \CHtmlPurifier();
$rawBody = $oPurifier->purify($rawBody);
$body = $mailer->doReplacements($rawBody);
$this->getEvent()->set('body',$body);
Check mailSenderToFrom core plugin for another usage of mailer to set the sender, the Response-To and the From-To. The whole class are LimeMailer and extend PHPMailer.
