HTML Tags in %content% now possible

Hi,

As WordPress is sending all transactionnal emails in text/plain format, there is already no HTML tags in email content.

In which context do you need this ?

Hi nlemoine,

thanks for the quick answer.
I use a shop-plugin in combination with your plugin. The shop plugin makes use of “wp_mail” to send out messages to confirm orders, etc.

The great thing is that your plugin sends out the message as Multipart/Mixed (Hurray!). So i wanted to have the possibility to also design the HTML “%content% as well leave the TEXT %content% visually untouched by HTML Tags.

Please visit this link. It explain quite well what i mean. Unfortunatly it is in german but at the bottom of the page you will find two screenshots of a Multipart Message made with your Plugin and the Shopplugin “wpshopgermany”.

So, what do you think about it?

Greetings. JPOG

HI JPOG,

When I have a look at the screenshots, it seems like the text version does not contain any HTML tags but maybe because you manually modified the plugin.

As the WordPress emails comes text/plain by default, I never considered removing HTML tags from email content. I’ll think about adding this modification to the plugin.

Could you just confirm we are talking about the same issue ?

Hi nlemoine,

indeed, if you look at the screenshots, it looks like there are no html-tags inside at all. It is because i changed your code like described above. The mailtemplate looks like this:

<?php
	/**
	 * Template für die Mail, die bei einer neuen Bestellung an den Kunde geht
	 */

	//wpsg_debug($this->view);

?><b><?php echo wpsg_translate(__('Hallo #1# #2#,', 'wpsg'), $this->view['basket']['checkout']['vname'], $this->view['basket']['checkout']['name']); ?> </b>

<b><?php echo __('Vielen Dank für Ihre Bestellung.', 'wpsg'); ?></b><br style="display:none;">

As you see: quite a lot of html-tags.
Thank you for considering to take the changes into the plugin.

I love your plugin! But I found this to be an issue for me as well. I had to custom format my emails to meet some client requirements but that HTML was ending up in my plain text emails and getting flagged as spam. I needed HTML tags to be stripped from my plain text emails. I’m going do what I hate to do.. manually alter the plugin. But I hope you can add this feature to your awesome plugin in a future version.

Thanks!

Dave

Sorry, I forgot that topic in the last update. I’ll add it to the next release.
