Send as HTML, is there text version also sent?

    I’m sorry if this isn’t the right place for this question, but I’m using Postman SMTP and thought you might know about sending as html. When I send as html:

    $to = '[email protected]';
	$subject = 'The subject';
	$body = 'The email body content';
	$headers = array('Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8');
	wp_mail( $to, $subject, $body, $headers );

    I don’t see a way to provide a text version of the same body for readers that don’t support html. Is that allowed?

    Postman’s test email is an example of a message that has both text and html parts. It’s content type is “multipart/alternative” which is a MIME extension.

    You need to research multipart.

    This example seems pretty good (except that there is no html in the html part) – of course you’ll want to substitute wp_mail for mail.

    Many thanks, that’s exactly what I needed!

    Thanks for a great plugin. It sounds like you learned php specifically to make these WP plugins. Nice work. I’ll post a review.
