Outlook 2203/2007 + filename

Thanks for your patch!

We need to review these changes discretely. Please try to remember to submit one patch for each change, and follow up on appropriate tickets - rather than creating duplicate tickets with multiple changes.

Patch updated to version 5.x-1.0.

Has anyone else tested this patch? Has anyone verified that it does not cause issues with other mail clients? I'll do some testing on this, but would appreciate input if anyone else has tried it.

The patch doesn't conform to coding standards ( specfically, variable names and extra comments ). We can't eschew UTF-8 mime parts or base64 encoding without introducing problems elsewhere.

If we can get this functionality in a non-invasive way, I'm for it!

HTML emails seem to look fine in Outlook 2007 and 2000 based on my testing. In addition, we've added some filename support for the API.

If you are still having issues with HTML email in outlook, please checkout the latest copy of mimemail from HEAD and attempt sending an HTML email with Send. If that fails, then please let me know exactly what version of outlook you're using and attach a copy of the message source as well as a screenshot of how the email is rendered in Outlook.

We do want to make sure things work as well as possible - so please let us know if things are still failing. For now, I'm marking this closed.

I tested the newest module, but i still get the plain text email in outlook 2003. In Gmail, the email is displayed as HTML, but displayed as plain text in Outlook 03. I have attached the generated plain text email in outlook.

Just added this patch.

And now HTML comes into hotmail, and exchange server / outlook 2007.

note, testing shows that the issue is with the exchange server, not with the client, as both the outlook web and outlook rich clients on exchange server 2007 exhibit this behaviour.

Some other issues have cropped up though, which we're still looking into.

ok, other issues were our own fault.. set to filtered html somehow. This patch looks good.

The first patch in the original post of this thread works for me.

Btw I also needed this because we our Outlook Exchange accounts had been moved to Exchange 2007 and from that point on all Drupal newsletters (we use simplenews with mimemail) were received as plain text only, with an html attachment included.

So thanks for the patch!

I'm not able to apply this patch, it is my output:

Anyone can help?
Or, simply, upload the patched version of mimemail.inc?

Thanks in advance.

Problem solved. I had to download the original module, then applying the patch.

For Drupal 6.. I was having the same problem with Hotmail, it was converting the mail to plain text, including the style sheet at the top...

I manually applied the changes from the patch in comment #2, now HTML comes through in hotmail, which is really exciting, but all of my img tags are coming through as

<img width="191" height="158" src="http://Array"/>

This new problem effects all mail clients, including gmail, which was previously working fine...

Any ideas?

Similar problems. Installed 6.x-1.x-dev version of Mime Mail. If I set to plain text only, the message arrives properly displayed in Outlook exchange 2007. If I set to html, an html version arrives in Outlook as an attachment and a plain text version arrives in the message body but filled with code. If I copy/paste the same content into my phplist on same host and send, Outlook displays the html properly in the message body. Being a newbie, I don't know whether or how to apply the above-mentioned patch(es).

Thanks,
Saslib

Attached is the entire code for the Outlook message of which the greater portion gets displayed in the body, starting with "in default templates, but we don't want the 'form' styling" down to the message itself ending with "we'll get back to you as soon as possible."

Hi,

About the html not being displayed: see also http://drupal.org/node/310305 We (sending a newsletter to 4000 addresses) do not have problems after applying this patch.

More information about applying patches can be found here: http://drupal.org/node/60108

I remember that the html tags in the plain text part was a bug in simplenews, do you use that one? Do you have the most recent version of this module on your site installed?

Good luck!

Also check out my comment #5 in this issue, this fixed all html/css issues for me across all web mail clients and outlook...

MikenotMike, omg it seems to be working! I'm much obliged that you posted the full patched file. Saslib

You're welcome, hopefully someone gets this rolled into the actual mimemail release.. The coder that solved it (kungfu711) noted that you may no longer be able to send file attachment with this patch in place, but this isn't confirmed one way or the other... Regardless, this patch is a must in my opinion for anyone sending out newsletters with html/css content...

Sorry this thread was for D5 and I accidentally bumped it to D6, the patch suggested in post #16 is only tested for D6

Hi, I'm trying to follow this thread. For 5.x mimemail.... do I make patch to official release or the latest dev version? Thanks in advance.

jboeger: patch to 5.x-1.x-dev, otherwise you'd get some errors thrown at you while trying to patch.

The patch not works for me. I tried on the official release and on the dev release.
Anyone could post the zipped, working D5 version?

Thanks in advance.

See my update in http://drupal.org/node/310305

We're working on correcting issues such as this, but we could use some community input for people who have applied the 8bit encoding patch mentioned in #15. I'm still hesitant to make this change in the current release stream of Mimemail as there isn't a very good way to override it if a user is still dealing with an SMTP server which doesn't understand 8bit MIME.

If anyone has tested this patch, please respond back to http://drupal.org/node/310305 with information on what SMTP software Drupal is routing messages through, and what the receiving server was running.

I'm working with Simplenews in Drupal 5 trying to get HTML mail in Hotmail - I haven't tested Outlook.
None of the info in http://drupal.org/node/310305 or http://drupal.org/node/372710 helped me.
The patch in this thread (http://drupal.org/files/issues/mimemail-outlook+filename.patch) didn't apply against Mimemail 5.x-1.0 so I applied by hand against that version and I do get HTML mail in Hotmail and Gmail (which are our targets) :D

I wondered if this part was particularly relevant:

- return mimemail_multipart_body($parts,"$content_type; charset=utf-8");
+ // agidise-mod: mixed
+ $content_type = 'multipart/mixed';
+
+ // agidise-mod: removed "$content_type; charset=utf-8"
+ return mimemail_multipart_body($parts,$content_type);

The updated mimemail.inc file I posted here http://drupal.org/node/334004#comment-1163542 solved my hotmail problems too.. not sure how it effects D5

I applied second patch (mimemail_5.x-1.0_outlook.patch), But mimemail produce lot of warning and send blank mail. Error is give below:

warning: Missing argument 2 for mimemail_mail_alter() in ..../modules/mimemail/mimemail.module on line 296.

I am using Drupal 6 will this patch work and how do I apply and where?

No, this patch has been made for 5.x, furthermore it is a duplicate. However the 6.x branch of Mime Mail supports Outlook 2007.
