Sending HTML email with ZenCart using PHP5

I have posted something about this before but with no progress and something finally came to me tonight.

I recently moved my domains to a new server. I am still running on a Linux server, but I am using PHP5. I have checked and rechecked my settings. I have changed it from HTML to TEXT and back to HTML and I still only receive ALL emails in TEXT mode.

The only thing I can think of at this point is the PHP5. Is anyone out there running PHP5 and able to send emails in HTML format instead of TEXT? Can anyone think of any other settings that need to be changed to make it send in HTML. I am able to receive HTML emails so I know it is not my email client, but I have yet to see one that is sent from the store.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I having this same problem. . . anyone. . .

Settings in Admin> Configuration> Email Settings?

If the settings within Zen Cart are set to send HTML emails, and your customers' preferences are set to accept HTML emails, then Zen Cart will send HTML emails to your mailserver for processing and delivery.

However, your mailserver may choose not to send the HTML portion for any number of reasons. That is a server configuration issue to be addressed with your server administrator.

Some folks have found relief from these symptoms by ensuring that their Email Transport method in Zen Cart is set to "PHP".

I am still unable to send HTML emails from Zen Cart. No matter how the email is sent, if it is done through ZC, the email received is in TEXT format with NO carriage returns.

We are in the middle of upgrading our Zen Cart. I tried to send an email from the new version and nothing would send with the default setup. I went into the Email configuration and changed the SENDMAIL option to PHP and it not only worked, but it sent in HTML.

It seems to me there has to be something with the Email configuration settings for 1.2.7d since obviously ZC can send HTML from my server. Can anyone think why ZC woud send everything not only in TEXT, but without carriage returns? I know the problem will be fixed when the upgrade is done, but we probably have another week or more and our customers are complaining.

My current email configuration settings are:

E-Mail Transport Method: sendmail
E-Mail Linefeeds: LF

PLEASE help.

Thanks,

I have recently moved to a new server from PHP4 to PHP5 and noticed that emails in HTML format are not displaying correctly. The part of stylesheet in HTML emails is truncated. All the statements with dot in the begining (.holder ; .header etc) are missing in the received email messages.
I do not know if it PHP5 or specific configuration on my server causes the problem.
:unsure:

But changing Email Transport in Configuration/Email Options to smtp or smtpauth solved it for me.
