Here's a nice little pluggin (No Code changes!) my programmer (Bryan Harris) came up with that sets the email type as HTML if the body of an email contains any HTML.
This is very powerful and flexible, but also a bit dangerous. This means that any email your system sends out that contains any HTML will be sent as HTML. Which means that the whole email should be formatted as HTML.
So for instance, it makes it very easy to send HTML emails from the ACP - Just include HTML in your message! Same goes for users sending private email.
You'll also need to update some of the stock phrases for the registration confirmation email, password change, etc, that contain links or other HTML, and add line breaks <br /> so they still format correctly. And while you're in there you could add your logo and other nice touches!
It's just one pluggin!
Install time: a few seconds!
This is my first published mod so go easy on me. I'm not up for a bunch of support, but it doesn't seem like much should be needed.
And I'd appreciate it if you clicked Install if you use it, and while your at it, nominate it for MOTM!

Actually it don't. It works perfect for sending. Sign yourself up as a new member and look what the new activation email looks like when it sends it to you. To avoid that I just install this mod when I use it to send html email and uninstall it when I am done until someone comes up with a fix.
really? i just sent myself a password reminder and it worked, i made a new users and tried it, waiting for activation email lol, dont know why its taking so long :/ but if it works like u said, i'll do the same as you do
Don't get me wrong..I love the mod..It isn't that big of a deal for me to install and un-install for the luxury of using it. If someone comes up with a fix then that is a bonus. If not. I'm still good.

Please post what you see (or describe it). I presume this is a case where mod worked just fine but the message being sent contains HTML even though it is formatted to be sent as plain text (ie with carriage returns rather than <br>s or <P>'s.
To fix, just edit the phrase than contains the email body and either remove all HTML or add more so it formats correctly with when rendered as HTML.
I must have missed this post. That is what I said. I would have to go to each of what VB sends out and adjust it accordingly with html edits to make it work and I am not sure what all is actually sent out. I never checked. Again. Not a problem. At some point I may do that however. I like it very much and it isn't an issue installing and uninstalling for use.
As soon as I posted that I now have a problem with it today for the first time. I have it making quotes " " and apostrophe's ' into boxes for whatever reason. It figures when I am counting down the hours and minutes when I send out the first newsletter of the new year! LOL

Hi Tom.
I think your issue is with the email encoding (UTF-8). If there is HTML codes for those characters (such as "?) try switching to them.
I will give that a shot. I ended up sending it out like that with apologies. It got late. I had ones that received theirs in Yahoo mail that said it didn't show that way so I have no idea why it did for me when I tested it. I received it that way in both Outlook and Outlook Express with the boxes. I have been holding off on a few things until version 7 of VB is debugged to see what direction we go with that. I appreciate the help on it bchertov. I will try that and see if it helps.
