Newsletter won't send in HTML

[Chuckl]

DrByte,
Yes, that seems to work fine. I'd purposely avoided any reference/use of ADMIN_EXTRA_EMAIL etc as it was referenced only in the context of the admin copy emails, and I felt any change in that was best left to the developers.
Thanks,

Chuck

Great. This alteration will find its way into a future release ...

To sum up, and consolidate everything into 1 post -

To increase the chances of emails sent from admin as HTML actually arriving as HTML, particularly to webmail based email systems such as hotmail, yahoo mail, gmail etc.; and to allow test newsletters sent to the admin email address to arrive as HTML, do the following:

Copy /includes/extra_configures/email_use_8bit.php to /admin/includes/extra_configures, so that both folders have a copy of the file.
Replace /includes/functions/functions_email.php with the attached copy, which incorporates DrBytes' suggested changes.

Chuck and Dr. Byte,

I've just applied the latest patch file and run a test again on my Yahoo account and received the HTML newsletter correctly, so all seems to be fixed.

Thanks!

Thanks for this I have follwed these instructions but I am still having problems creating the newsletter. When i go to create a Newsletter the FCK Editor is selected (The editor doesnt appear there though)but the only options I have are as follows:

Module: newsletterproduct_notification Subject:
* Required Rich Text
Content: Text-Only
Content:
I think I have all the settings right in Admin Configures so what may I be doing wrong? I tried pasting html in but all i get on preview is raw code
Many thanks

in /admin/newsletters.php there is an error which affects using FckEditor to edit newsletters.

Edit the file, and check around line 258, there is a line that looks like this

$oFCKeditor->CreateHtml() ; echo $output;

and change it to

$output = $oFCKeditor->CreateHtml() ; echo $output;

and save the file.

That should hopefully make the editor to appear.

Thanks so much Chuckl that indeed does the trick

wow, this is a long thread!

so, my newsletter is not being sent in html, just plain text

what do I have to check first?

one more question: where do I have to put the pictures that are being sent in my newsletter? please give me the path of the folder.
