This is the same problem I mentioned over
here . But nobody has replied yet, which I'm surprised about as I would of thought this will be affecting a lot of users.
The problem is the emails are being sent in html format, but the content type header that goes with vB emails is for text emails:
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="ISO-8859-1"
so all the html code is displayed as text. The emails need to be sent in plain text format (like they were in 2.5.6) to be displayed correctly in the mailclient.
I have removed all the bold and italic tags from the messages in the admin control panel and editted the variable $mailmessage in arcade.php to show the URL as a regular URL rather than in the href tag. But I'll be darned if I can get rid of those br tags.
Anyone else seeing this or got a solution??
