Basically, when I input html in a newsletter, it renders it properly in the preview, but it arrives in my inbox as html.

 

 

For example, if I send a link.

 

(this is how it looks in the preview)

Yahoo

(this is how it looks in my inbox)

<a href="http://www.yahoo.com">Yahoo</a>

 

How do I stop this from happening? Basically, it's transforming the html to html. Thanks in advance for your help.

Sorry for the delayed response! My email is set to receive HTML emails as a matter of fact, I get them from other companies all the time.

look in mail.php or newsletter.php

 

I have a feeling there is a bit in there that notes Plain Text. Change this to HTML and your sorted

Skip

 

I finally found an answer to this issue and frankly I'm a little surprised that nobody responded with an answer, surely a lot of people here send out newsletters. Okay well here is the solution.

 

In the following files:

 

admin/mail.php

admin/includes/module/newsletters/newsletter.php

admin/includes/module/newsletters/product_notification.php

 

find 

$mimemessage->add_text

change to 

$mimemessage->add_html

 

Make the change in all three places and you can send html emails.

Something to keep in mind, when you are talking about sending html emails you have to remember that almost all mail servers will handle and display your code in very different ways. I would suggest you go to http://www.mailchimp.com/resources/ and have a read through.

 

 

as for

 

 <TR><A href="http://www.fatima.dk"><IMG height=60 
src="http://www.fatima.dk/osc/images/banner.jpg" width=600 border=0></A></TR>

 

try this

 

 <TR><TD><A href="http://www.fatima.dk"><IMG height=60 
src="http://www.fatima.dk/osc/images/banner.jpg" width=600 border=0></A></TD></TR>

 

and remember not all mail providers support all the css codes, and you should to add alt text to your images because most servers have images turned off by default.
