Mini Mods - Send emails with HTML as HTML

Hi Folks,

Here's a nice little pluggin (No Code changes!) my programmer (Bryan Harris) came up with that sets the email type as HTML if the body of an email contains any HTML.

This is just a copy of the original 3.6 mod (165 installs!) - it works fine under 4.0 too! (See testimonials for earlier mods in the Similar Mod links below.)

This is very powerful and flexible, but also a bit dangerous. This means that any email your system sends out that contains any HTML will be sent as HTML. Which means that the whole email should be formatted as HTML.

So for instance, it makes it very easy to send HTML emails from the ACP - Just include HTML in your message! Same goes for users sending private email.

You'll also need to update some of the stock phrases for the registration confirmation email, password change, etc, that contain links or other HTML, and add line breaks <br /> so they still format correctly. And while you're in there you could add your logo and other nice touches!

It's just one pluggin!

Install time: a few seconds!

And I'd appreciate it if you clicked Install if you use it, and while your at it, nominate it for MOTM!

Did you apply anything to the divs? I added divs and that didn't seem to do anything at all to the formating of quotes within $plaintext_message which is the content of the message that gets sent out.

thank you very much for such an amazing modification.
vBulletin, with its pure text notifications is still in the 1980's. Thank you for bringing vB to 2015!

Is there some reason to not just add:

	$message = nl2br($message);

To address the line breaks?

plugin works just fine with vb 4.2.3 but without line breaks.

is there any update to solve that?

^ Read 2 posts above your post, that will take care of line breaks.

Hello @Paolitus,

Have you this mod works on VB 4.2.5 with the html format properly, and break lines ?

If yes, is that possible to share the modification ?

Thank you in advance
