I know why these questions would be asked in the pre-sales forum, but none of the really good hackers look at this forum. I hope this helps

I agree with you all that their needs to be enhanced email features.

I am not very good with hacking yet, but the way I have been able to get around this problem is to use the "Email Addresses to Notify When there is a New Thread/Post" fields in the forum manager to send a PLAIN TEXT email. You can uses the "generate mailing list" feature and copy into either of the email fields. However, there are a couple of other changes you need to make. Search for the phrase that creates the emails and change it to send the entire post or whatever you want. Also, if you want to send the emails to more than about 25 people than you will need to make changes to the database also. Use phpMyAdmin or something like it to change the "newpostemail" or "newthreademail" field from "varchar(250)" type to "mediumtext". This has worked for now. It would be nice to write a SQL statement that would automatically copy and paste the email addresses, but I haven't had time to work on it.

My site is for a social club and now the officers want to be able to send emails by posting to the "email" forum and have attachments be sent with the email. I have no idea where to start with this, but I think it has something to do with the phrases for the emails. If you can think of a way please PM me.

I hope that helped.
