[ZendTo] Re: HTML Email formatting?

[Gray McCord]

Turns out I had to change the content type to text/html to make it work.
When I used multipart/mixed, Mailscanner (familiar with it? ;-)  )
quarantined the mails and sent me nasty messages. Works great now!

Thanks!

 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.
