There are numerous areas in the Manage Subscriptions and user form where it presents a drop down "Send method:"!

99.99% of the public will have no idea what "Mime mail" is. Not only that but inside the drop down "Mime mail" is not in the localization, thus I can not change it to email or to the german word for email.

I believe this should be moved to the Messaging queue, since that module provides the available methods for sending.

Since the purpose of Mime Mail is to send HTML mail, perhaps that method should be presented to the user as "HTML mail" or "Rich Text mail." BTW, the name of the module notwithstanding, MIME is an acronym and each of the letters should be capitalized.

Attached patch sets the name to MIME Mail.

I had no problem translating the name in the latest
-dev release so you might want to try a newer snapshot.

Note I am using stringoverrides module in place of the
locales module but that shouldn't matter in this case.

Yes, this really makes a lot of sense. However this name is mostly about the module it integrates with, so maybe we should ask for a rename here, http://drupal.org/project/mimemail

About the string finally displayed to the user, I think we should aim bigger and make it fully configurable (not only translatable). Actually end users won't want to know about Mime mail / MIME Mail or whatever, they may just want to see 'Plain text email' or 'HTML email', and these can be actually provided by different modules, so we need a 'module' name for the administrator, but also a meaningful name for end users.

I feel like I must be missing something really obvious here... but where has this been added (ability to rename messaging method names)? I can't seem to find it anywhere :( .

Also, while I'm on this module, is there a way to disable messaging methods? For example, I want to disable the "simple" messaging method as an option.

A quick reply on this would be very much appreciated!

Much thanks,

Jordan

Do I need to switch this to active for it to show up in queue? Sorry, I don't have experience replying to closed issues...

The one thing I did notice, is that if you limit the choices down to one (for example: user can ONLY select MIME MAIL), the drop down gets disabled, where as it probably should not be displayed at all.

Could someone please give a quick reply on this (renaming messaging method names)? I'm really desperate for this.

Thanks so much!

This feature is in the 6.x version.

No plans to backport features to 5.x, try upgrading.

Thanks for the reply (I've been on vacation, hence the late response). I would love to upgrade to Drupal 6, but am currently working on a huge site that utilizes many modules which have sadly not been ported to D6 yet. Does anyone have any ideas about how to most easily rename the messaging method names with the Drupal 5 version of this module?
