> Can we send html newsletter in HTML and all other email
> notifications in plain text?

Here is the fix from x-cart support:

Please look at the "General settings" page. If the option 'Use internal PHP mailer for sending newsletters.' is turned OFF, you can try the following modification:

Edit the 'admin/spam.sh' file and replace the line

(echo "To: $target"; echo "From: $mail_from"; echo "Subject: $mail_subj"; echo; cat $mail_body) | $sendmail_prog $target 

with

(echo "To: $target"; echo "From: $mail_from"; echo "Content-type: text/html"; echo "Subject: $mail_subj"; echo; cat $mail_body) | $sendmail_prog $target 

Otherwise, you should modify the 'func_send_simple_mail' function in the 'include/func.php' file. Please rplace the lines

if ($config["Email"]["html_mail"] == "Y") 
$headers .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset: ".$charset.$lend; 
else 
$headers .= "Content-Type: text/plain; charset: ".$charset.$lend; 

with

if ($config["Email"]["html_mail"] == "Y" || true) 
$headers .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset: ".$charset.$lend; 
else 
$headers .= "Content-Type: text/plain; charset: ".$charset.$lend; 

-----------
Modifying 'admin/spam.sh' works fine for me.
This way you do not have to put
in all email templates
just to send html newsletter.

Tried this worked well and was easy for newbie to do (with your clear instructions).

Well, I don't see the point of having the "if" statement, as it will always be true as written. So you can probably simplify it to

$headers .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset: ".$charset.$lend; 

and forget the if structure.

This is odd...

I was able to send the newsletter last month no problems with the above mods.


This month I go to send a newsletter and NOTHING is being sent for newsletters. If I remove the mod then the newsletter is sent but in text only. Is there a configuration to sendmail that has possibly changed on my server? Is there a way to check any of this?


I have 3.4.4. Internal php mailer and html mail are NOT checked.

Oh man just when you think somethign is working!@!!!

NOTE: I am able to send an html newsletter if I turn on php mailer and html mail settings. However this screws up the formatting for the standard non-html emails (order confirmations, etc..). I can turn on the settings, send the newsletter, then turn them back off but shouldnt the above mod to spam.sh work?


thanks
