When it starts the 500 > 700 members (i have 700 members) it sends it in normat text and not html as i have a second account which it sent it to and it was all messed up html code.

Ah of course, I've added a new step. Please apply step 3 and all should work fine now

Then you applied the modification wrong. Go back and reapply it

Fantastic, I was just asking over at vb.com on how I could send out nicely HTML Formatted emails to my members, could be great as a newsletter thingy.

Thanks a million Dean !

i've already reapplyied twice :cry:
i'm going to reapply another time but... it doesn't have conflicts with vbchat, right?

[Dean C]

I can't see why it would Cornholio. Are you using dreamweaver to apply the modification? DW screws up formatting a lot and it could be that perhaps?

[Cornolio]

yes, i was using dw... i've just modified the files with wordpad and it worked

thanks

[Dean C]

Glad you got it working
