All emails sent using Forward module show all HTML tags? It's possible to send plain text email only?

Thanks in advance.

Same as well, the e-mails are filled with html that no e-mail application I've tried can process.

Not exactly readable. Are well missing a config option? Or is there something wrong with this module. I would guess that the mime type isn't being set properly

I'm running Drupal 5.1 with Forward 5.x-1.x-dev.

Same problem with HTML emails - keeps seeing the raw html code.

I tracked it down to these two lines from forward.module:564-565 :

  $header[] = "MIME-Version: 1.0";
  $headers[] = "Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8\n";

There are mainly 2 errors :-

1. the 1st line : variable $header should be $headers.

2. the module now uses the drupal_mail function - which takes the headers as an array with assoc keys.

I've resolved this issue by amending the lines to :

  $headers['MIME-Version'] = '1.0';
  $headers['Content-Type'] = "text/html; charset=utf-8";

Note specifically that 'Content-Type' needs to be spelled with capital 'T' for 'Type'. Otherwise, it doesn't replace the drupal_mail default header.

Tested with Yahoo, Hotmail and Gmail webmails.

This didn't fix the problem for me. (displaying the email body as mark-up). I corrected the header issues listed above, no good. Uninstalled/reinstalled forward, no good. Ran update.php. Nope.

Anybody have an idea about this? Is there a table somewhere with a left over entry, or maybe something with SMTP (which appears to be correctly configured) that would cause this? I'm stumped. (as usual :-))
thanks

This does in fact appear to be a problem with SMTP. That is handled by a separate module, so I'd suggest creating a new support request there. I don't use SMTP on any of my servers, so I've got no easy way to test this.

There's a patch for SMTP module now: http://drupal.org/node/195622
