I was hoping that you could enlighten us with useful information on how to send HTML formated e-mail through vBulletin 3.5.

I use this and would like to see it integrated.

(Using 3.5.0) I had to do an HTML mailout yestuday, and had to hack a line to get it to go...

In includes/class_mail.php:

Code:

$headers .= 'Content-Type: text/plain' . iif($encoding, "; charset=\"$encoding\"") . $delimiter;

Change the obvious to:

Code:

$headers .= 'Content-Type: text/html' . iif($encoding, "; charset=\"$encoding\"") . $delimiter;

Something more elegant may come around, but that was my quick fix.

Is that the only edit that needs to be done to the orig. vb 3.5.1 files?

Or do I still need to apply the edits from dean's first post?

thanks,
T.

xBhp · #89 12-25-2005, 02:38 PM

will this work in 3.5.2?

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
