This is my first hack :d

Basically this allows you to send users HTML messages ala UBB through the control panel. You have the option of either sending users a plain text e-mail message or a HTML Message.

You can see a demo at : http://catclub.2y.net/demohtml.gif

Instructions are attached

hmm.. nice what about a XML message ;)

XML?

I'm not sure if that's possible to do that through e-mail.

i have seem something use XML in email, the prob is that alot of email systems dont allow XML or understand it..

Hmm,

I'll look into that, but do programs like Microsoft Outlook, Nutscrape Mail, and Eudora support XML mail?

Cool....but this is just the beginning! I'd love to see a hack where all the system e-mails (from activation to lost password) have HTML templates, and at registration a user can choose whether or not to get plain text or HTML.

As it stands, I'm going to adapt this hack so I can at least send my community bulletin and news updates via HTML.

The problem with templates from the way I saw it is,

Number 1 it depends what template whoever is sending it has it set for, so you'd have to go through every template and do the required modifications. And that would also mean that the look of the e-mail would vary depending on what template you had it set for viewing.

But in a later version of this hack I will probably add some kind of templates support and support for users to choose whether or not to recieve HTML mail. I might also add perhaps Code Buttons to quickly insert HTML.

Does this allow the individual member to select which format he/she received the emails?

neato :)

Nice job with this hack ;)

Not yet but it may in a later version.
