I don't think there is any way of detecting that, it's not even an option in VB when you register so how would you know?

Unless, of course you're meaning to send plain and html at the same time and detect at the opening level, but I'm not sure that can be done either.

You could add a profile field where a user can set whether to receieve HTML/text email I'll look into it when I have some free time

Just a note: for some reason when you cut and paste the code from here to EditPlus for windows, it butchers this section:

PHP Code:

if($_POST['sendhtml'])
                        {
                            vbmail($user['email'], $_POST['subject'], $sendmessage, true, $_POST['from'], '', '', true);
                        }
                        else
                        {
                            vbmail($user['email'], $_POST['subject'], $sendmessage, true, $_POST['from']);
                        } 


not sure why. Just a heads up if this is driving anyone nuts who uses EditPlus like I do. I typed it in by hand and it works fine. Cheers!
