I should really put up a list of my future planned features :)

One of them will be a usercp controlled switch that users can select to get these via html or plaintext :)

Kinda waiting to work on too many features til I know the preg_replaces are handling incoming emails right. Those are the key functions, everything else is just toppings :)

The problem with text only all the time is

A) smilies get lost, the plaintext parser rips them out entirely, not even the replace code remains.

B) links to your forums become inactive, thereby losing the ability to encourage your users to come to your forum, rather then just sit back and read emails

The second one is the big kicker for me.

But hey.. I'm all about user optional :)

Woot, that looks like it got it!

quiklink 07-19-2007 08:26 PM

One suggest if there is any way to do it. Don't have it send replies back to the person who sent the reply. No biggie though.

Again let me say thanks for a great mod with a lot of potential!

I see your point, In my experience with text only emails - the email client will still usually create links as long as you have the www.

at least on thunderbird it does.

all the links that vbulletin sends out (thread notifications etc etc) are all clickable links for me, as text only..

Cyricx 07-19-2007 08:29 PM

Ah right on. Maybe it won't be as bad as I fear.

It shouldn't be hard at all to code. It will make it into one of the early versions for sure :) Just gotta get through these various email programs first :)

And those damn lines with just > on them that are driving me insane LOL!

Yeah, I've debated back and forth on that one. The mailing lists send it to yourself. Which can be nice if you like start a thread and then go.. O crap, I forgot about this, you could grab your email about the thread posting and reply to that and yoru good to go.

Without getting emails back to yourself (like mailing lists do), you'd either A) have to wait for someone to reply or B) have to jump over to the forums :)

It will likely end up becoming another end user option though with the default being receive emails about your own posts.

Besides it also makes sure you know it actually posted :)

What do others think? :)

I like the idea of that being an end user option, for the reply to who replied.

Sadly, my ISP won't enable the imap_open() requirement, so I'm going to have to sit out of this one for a bit. I see this is a pretty common issue though; here's a page for folks who need to deal with it.

I guess when I get some time I'll attempt to custom compile PHP... or find a kind soul willing to help. :)

Well back from holiday and this just had to be installed before I hit the shees last night :)

Looking good and working well so far. Suggestions from me include those already on the to do list, but I'd like to add:

- Option to remove the signature when exporting the email.
- Option to remove some of the links in the email footer - for example we dp not use the Calendar at all on site and have it turned off.

Anyway the site staff should hopefully start testing it later on today. More thoughts from me later when I start to try getting clever with the system :)
