This is really a bug fix with a mod.

The newsletter sends out the text mail templates regardless if you select it to send as a html email.

Thats the bug .... now the mod bit

The ability to send a newsletter with a header AS WELL as a signature.

add a template called newsletter_header.tpl in /skin1/mail/html/ and put whatever header you want in it ... your signature bit (footer) is in /skin1/mail/html/newsletter_signature.tpl update that as well, to match your design.

now for the code change ... in /xcart/admin/newsletter_modify.php

change

$signature = $smarty->fetch("mail/newsletter_signature.tpl");

to

$header = $smarty->fetch("mail/html/newsletter_header.tpl");
$signature = $smarty->fetch("mail/html/newsletter_signature.tpl");

If you use the internal PHP mailer .. change the following ...

func_send_simple_mail($value, $subject, $body."\n\n".preg_replace("/$email_spec/", "$value", $signature), $config["Company"]["newsletter_email"]);

to

func_send_simple_mail($value, $subject, $header."\n\n".$body."\n\n".preg_replace("/$email_spec/", "$value", $signature), $config["Company"]["newsletter_email"]);

If you don't use the internal PHP mailer .. change the following

func_write_array($body_file,$body."\n\n".$signature);

to

func_write_array($body_file,$header."\n\n".$body."\n\n".$signature);

I recommend you change all the file regardless of which system you use.

Not sure what version that was for but I couldn't find those particular files in 4.0.16. However, it was enough to get me started and I eventually got it working as follows:

Add a template called newsletter_header.tpl in /skin1/mail/html/ (I just cloned my mail_header.tpl as I wanted it basically the same)

Then open modules/news management/news_send.php and edit the following:

Add

$header_template = "mail/newsletter_header.tpl";

just before

$signature_template = "mail/newsletter_signature.tpl";

And then add

$header = func_display($header_template,$smarty,false);

just before

$signature = func_display($signature_template,$smarty,false);

Add

$header_template = "mail/html/".basename($header_template);

before

$signature_template = "mail/html/".basename($signature_template);

and lastly, change

	foreach($recipients as $recipient) {
			func_send_simple_mail($recipient, $message["subject"], $message["body"].$sign_delim.preg_replace("/$email_spec/", $recipient, $signature), $config["Company"]["newsletter_email"]);
		}

to

	foreach($recipients as $recipient) {
			func_send_simple_mail($recipient, $message["subject"], $header.$message["body"].$sign_delim.preg_replace("/$email_spec/", $recipient, $signature), $config["Company"]["newsletter_email"]);
		}
