Hi there,

Try as I may, I cannot get a text only version of an email to be sent. This is a problem as some recipiants will not see the message that is intended for them. Is this problem being addressed elsewhere? If it is, I cannot seem to find it, though I have searched.

Many thanks,

Comments

I'm not aware of seeing this problem, but I'll keep an eye on it. You might want to report which email clients you're using, and if the problem occurs the same in multiple email clients.

Posting issues on Drupal takes so long, so I grabbed the closest alternative. I've had trouble with mailout sending plain text emails with bad encoding, leaving apostrophes etc. as html ex ' instead of '. This kind of sucked for a long time until I found a solution here: http://drupal.org/node/338871

Applied this fix and it worked perfectly.

Old code in "mailout_send.inc":
$plain = check_plain($form_values['template']['plain']);
New code in "mailout_send.inc":
$plain = drupal_validate_utf8($form_values['template']['plain']) ? htmlspecialchars($form_values['template']['plain'], ENT_COMPAT) : '';

Problem solved.

Ps. Mailout is such a convenient and easy module. Can't we see this module developed further... Man, I'd write tuts for this module if we could.
