yes, but i think that more modifications are needed, as 'vbms_allowhtml' is a boolean, so how can it be equal to VBMS_HTMLACTION_NONE?

Well perhaps, I just took out the == VBMS_HTMLACTION_NONE at the same time I changed the variables because they were boolean anyway. So I was unaware that VBMS_HTMLACTION_NONE was not boolean as well.

Incredibly amazing.

I guess I don't fully understand what is going wrong; if vBa is trying to put something in headinclude all the time (I assume with a global_start hook), wouldn't that automatically put it into the vBMS? Part of it is that I've never much worked with vBa, so I'm not exactly sure how the wrapping thing works... if you wanna send me the stuff you changed and such though, that'd be cool, and I'll see what I can do about figuring out the working it in.
Tbh, I would, especially if you've got a fairly large site. I think it's mostly stable, and I've gotten through a majority of the bugs so far, but it's still got a little ways to go.
Awesome idea, I'll try to get that in if I can. It'd be cool if I could get it to merge your address book with the suggested list too; I'll have to look into that.
Mehh, perhaps something's screwy on my server, because I added that conditional to make it work properly for me; attachments weren't working right otherwise. I guess I'll have to do a bit more serious testing with that bit to get it all working properly. Thanks for the feedback on it though.
Does the mail() function work normally to begin with? Try going to the "vBMS Control Panel" in the ACP and test sending emails (at the bottom) with both vbmail() and mail() and see what's happening.
Ahh, this seems to be a leftover from when the old version started getting ported and didn't get finished. Got it changed now, will be proper in the next update. It's true, it's a boolean option now; it seems that there used to be different actions for handling HTML messages before though (automatically deleting them, removing the content and flagging them, converting them to bbCode [this is now the default "no" to allowhtml], or leaving as-is [this is the "yes" in allowhtml]). So yeah, feel free to take the VBMS_HTMLACTION_NONE bit out entirely of both of those and convert them both to allowhtml. Also btw, thanks especially to both of you for finding (and correcting) bugs so far, it's really been a big help (as well as everyone else who's been contributing here).

I just got back in town late last night, so hopefully I should be able to get another update out sometime this week. Keep the bugs coming :p

no, as far as i can see, vba uses only the body portion of any template and adds it to the central column of it, so anything in the head portion is simply ignored... i saw this when vba-wrapping other products using whole page templates, like vbagooglemaps... i had to insert the head scripts in a 'new' myproduct_headinclude template and parse it in the headinclude template with a little plugin which looks for the scriptname and if it's, say, vbms_new adds the vbms_headinclude part to headinclude
eh, i had to telnet to the mailserver and retr a message to see what was going on, as i'm not so accostumed to the mail syntax :)
anyway, once done, it was quite clear that the closing boundaries for the html part was missing :)

I can send and receive emails wonderfully. But for some reason the trailer message isn't attached to the sent emails. Do you have any idea why?

By the way, thank you so much for putting the time in to deliver this amazing hack
;-)

Installed and working great, thanks!

Both of those tests worked, Email sent out were fine.

great hack
and its installed:up:

One thing that I noticed which would probably be a good thing to add. If you are creating an alias you can have spaces and other illegal characters. Considering some users some of us have that could be bad, for example if someone made their name firstname@lastname@domain.com or firstname lastname@domain.com.
