[ZendTo] Re: HTML Email formatting?

[Jules]

This would require a tiny change to the code to insert the relevant 
headers, and then a rewrite of the email templates in 
/opt/zendto/templates/*email.tpl.

The change is in /opt/zendto/lib/NSSDropbox.php, in the function 
"deliverEmail". You would need to change the Content-Type header to be 
"multipart/mixed" and set the separator line and so on so that the 
message was correctly built in MIME format.

If you're up to doing that (look at the headers and source structure for 
a simple HTML email containing a bit of styled text and you'll see the 
layout used), then it's not too big a job.

I haven't done it in ZendTo already because getting the email template 
exactly right is probably beyond the abilities of most administrators, 
so they would just end up breaking it. Not a good result. :-(
It's simpler for everyone getting it going if they are just plain text.

Jules.
