lseibert Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 We are using osCommerce 2.2-MS2. When trying to use the send email function from the admin area to email customers, it sends the emails out in HTML code instead of properly formatted. Any thoughts on what would cause this? Thanks for your help. Here is a sample of what it is doing below. The message should read Testing email function with Orange Testing, but below is how the message comes through to the recipient. Message: <p><span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong>Testing</strong></span> email function.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
germ Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 osC sends plain-text email by default. You might need something like this contribution. And I copy/pasted this text from a post around here somewhere: I just recently set this up for ourselves... it's a pretty simple change. MAKE BACKUPS FIRST! Find catalog/admin/includes/modules/newsletters/newsletter.php Around line 63 find: CODE $mimemessage->add_text($this->content); And change it to: CODE $mimemessage->add_html($this->content); And then I BELIEVE you have to go into your Admin Panel -> Configuration -> E-mail Options and set "Use MIME HTML When Sending Emails" to true (I'm not sure if this NEEDS to be done... I changed this before I changed the code to see if it would work and never bothered with changing it back). That should do it... it works on our site, anyways. If you have a development site or something set your email to the only one with a newsletter subscription and send yourself some random HTML (I did "<h1>Test</h1>" for instance). Hope this helps. Maybe something in there will help. If I suggest you edit any file(s) make a backup first - I'm not perfect and neither are you.

lseibert Posted September 12, 2009 Author Share Posted September 12, 2009 Thanks for this. Your fix is for the newsletter function and we are not using that but instead the send email function. Will this fix either? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
