Newsletter HTML Problems

[Don Ho]

I formed a letter up and tried to send it but the end product was crap - It looked good in the Admin section but not on the customers end. What am I doing wrong?

The other post you made has some suggestions on it:

You didn't explain what the problems were ... just that it looked bad. If you're saying your images didn't show up properly, then you may need to convert their references to complete URL's, including the http://etc instead of just /images/filename.jpg etc

Don Ho,

If you found a fix to your problem, could you please post it?
I ran into the same problem; I can create a newsletter that looks great in HTML (link and image references are complete URLs), but even though I subscribed and receive HTML Newletters myself, they come through as text-only - looking quite bad.
Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Zen Cart version 1.2.6.
Apache server, Linux 2.4.21-4.EL, PHP 4.4.1 (Zend: 1.3.0), and MySQL 4.1.11.

Most SPAM Filter server software now has the option to configure HTML messages through email messages. It is also possible that, for your case, it might be set. Meaning, even if there were a fix for this, it wouldn't be quite universal unfortunitely since it could be fixed for only specific users but others might still encounter the same problem. As DrByte mentionned from the other topic, it is pretty much based from server configurations.
