I have a question about this. I don't have access to MYSQL, that's all done by my server guy. Is there a way to run this query and reset all users to HTML email through the admin panel instead? I see under Maintenance there is an option called Execute SQL Query, but I don't dare do it until I know for sure as it says "Once a query is executed it can not be reversed". Any help on this would be MOST appreciated!
2nd question: I am assuming you need to paste the raw html into the message box if you want anything in your email to be bold, color, or hyperlinked. Is that assumption correct? I tested that and it works fine, however when I switched back to plain text on my user account and did the text again, I am not getting regular plain text, I am receiving raw html in the email text. What I would like to do (bold, color and all that doesn't really matter) is be able to link the title of a thread so that I don't have to include the hyperlink separately. For example, I would like it to look like this:
Thread title here
Thread description, blah blah blah blah blah
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
instead of this, which is what I currently do in plain text:

That's correct, no query can be reverted. It is safe to run the query through there though.

But still, the box in the AdminCP where I used to check or uncheck 'HTML Email' still won't show up.
Just thought I'd let you know.The checkbox inside the AdminCP still doesn't show up though.
I think this might be one of my problems. I do not see any option in the admin panel when sending an email to users to select html or plain text. So I was just assuming that I had to code in raw html. Am I missing something?
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!
