It didn't work on my 3.6.0 board. There should be another box right below the one where you put in the content, a box where you can choose if you wanna send out HTML or normal email. But that box doesn't appear in 3.6.0, sadly.

Too bad, well let's hope this will be ported soon.

I've searched like a mad person and finally found the hack that was posted over at vB Hackers. Try this link, worked perfectly fine for me.

This mod is here also at vbulletin.org: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=99910

And no need for changing the code..the same code will work for 3.6.0!

I am running 3.5.1 and have set my admin panel to every skin there is including VB 2 Default and none have this option. Please help, I would love to start using this!

I didn't see an answer to this yet. Is it possible to use this effectively in 3.5.1? I am not quite ready to upgrade to 3.6 yet, so any help would be appreciated

That's not the same hack though. It has less features.

This hack should work fine on 3.5.1.

[navjotjsingh]

So will your mod then work with 3.6.0 also?

Well it installed just fine and I can send html email, but the problem is that there isn't anything in the control panel that gives me the option to choose whether I want to send plain text or html. So if I paste in the raw html it's fine, however, then the plain text users get a bunch of raw html in their mailbox. If I send it plain text without any html coding, the html users get it but the links don't work.

Is there supposed to be something in the control panel, like is the text box where you put the message, is that supposed to have a WYSIWYG editor or something?

I have a feeling something is missing because the way it stands now I can't use it.

[akanevsky]

Yes, this hack is not really finished... Unfortunately, I don't have time fix the few issues that it has right now, but I will when I can.
