Give the latest development snapshot a try, there have been a few changes and hotmail seems to be working fine for me in my testing. Let me know if you run into any issues!

Title:

Only Hotmail don't reacive html mail

» HTML emails are text-only in Hotmail

I installed the latest snapshot (2-8-2009) and experience the same issue. Yahoo, Gmail, and various other private domain accounts in Outlook and Lotus Notes receive HTML. Hotmail is text-only. Other HTML emails in my Hotmail account display properly.

Also - please post what modules you're using to generate the message.

In my testing using Send and Mimemail, HTML mail is coming through fine in Hotmail.

Done, from another system with the same result though.
1. CSS does not get stripped from text/plain part and 2. Hotmail shows the text/plain part instead of the HTML

Looking at the raw source of the messages sent, I'm not seeing a clear reason why they would not show up correctly in Hotmail. I've done extensive testing on this end and so far all of my messages are showing up as HTML in hotmail. This testing was done with Mimemail HEAD and the latest development snapshot of simplenews.

There will be a new development snapshot of Mimemail within the next day, please try testing that and let me know if you still have issues.

attiks commented 5 March 2009 at 14:47

Solved (I guess), I changed Content-Type: multipart/related; to Content-Type: multipart/mixed; and submitted the message (as eml)using the pickup folder and I see the html, so the only question left is how to solve it before/while sending.

Thanks to post found at http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/exchangesvrclients/thre...

Update: just tested submitting the original eml file (without changing the content-type) to the pickup and it's also working.

Outlook is working fine when using pop3 for retrieval, but when using exchange you'll get into trouble. If anybody knows a solution let us know

Same prob, simple solution. But probably will create other problems - if anyone out there is still using text only mail clients.

Removing the text alternative from the body makes it work fine in hotmail.

Tried swapping the alternative order first but that just messed things up in thunderbird :/

Look forward to a better solution from you guys or will let you know if i can figure something out.

Same problem here using latest 6.x-1.x-dev and Simplenews. If I redirect the email to my Hotmail account using Mail in Mac OSX, everything looks fine, but messages sent directly to Hotmail through Simplenews are presented as text-only.

I'm not a dev, but can someone use http://drupal.org/node/225731 to solve this? It's for drupal 5.x and it works.

OK. The Mime Mail CSS Combiner module which is included in the module fixed my issue, but plain text emails for hotmail is still an issue.

Hilal, if you want to avoid all your theme's css being included just put a mail.css file in your (admin) theme's directory and it will automatically get picked up and used by mimemail instead.

The patch in #32 seems older than the version I'm using (mimemail dev of 08-02-2009), so didn't try that.

In my case, the first newsletter was just fine, and the second was text only. I saw a difference in the header that is the same as in #25. I solved this very easy by placing an inline (relative) image of 1x1 pixel. Now there is an attachment included and the message is sent as multipart/mixed and all works fine.

Maybe this will help?

I'm using latest and greatest for mime mail and simplenews, and I'm still unable to see a html email in hotmail!

I have inserted some inline images in the body and still no luck.

I also tested to forward from gmail and OSX Mail, and the email gets to Hotmail in html form.

The only place where this does not work is when the mail is sent directly to Hotmail!

it seems the fix in #32 works for some people, but I tried replacing the latest mimemail.inc with the one from that comment and it broke the module.

Maybe someone could make a diff from the two versions and post a more recent version so we could test it?

I'm no coder at all, so I can't really do it, but would be ready to test anything!

This issues seems to be also covered in: http://drupal.org/node/310305
I have just posted the solution that works for me on that thread, but include it here too for completeness:

This problem definitely seems to be caused because Hotmail (and presumably Outlook, for those who are having similar problems with Outlook) doesn't like the MIME type "multipart/alternative". I have no idea why this is, but forcing the MIME type to "multipart/mixed" fixes the problem for me.

I did this by adding an extra line to mimemail.inc at line 321 (Mime Mail version 6.x-1.x-dev dated 2009-Jun-08):

$content_type = 'multipart/mixed';
return mimemail_multipart_body($parts, "$content_type; charset=utf-8");

This is obviously a kludge but it solves the problem for the type of newsletters I want to send out. mimemail.inc sets $content_type to "multipart/alternative" as the default setting, then modifies it to "multipart/related" or "multipart/mixed" based on some criteria that I don't really understand. Perhaps using "multipart/mixed" as the initial default would be a safer choice?

using the absolute path in the img src (in my node-simplenews-body.tpl.php), they were not sent as attachements, but the newsletter appeared plain in hotmail. if i indicated the pics using $base_path, the pictures were sent as attachements, but everything looked fine in hotmail.

Hello bright8,

I am confused about your #40 ... I have the same version of Mime mail as you do, but somehow it looks like your extra line is already included !!

  foreach ($attachments as $a) {
    $a = (object) $a;
    $content_type = 'multipart/mixed';
    _mimemail_file($a->filepath, $a->filename, $a->filemime, 'attachment');
    $parts = array_merge($parts, _mimemail_file());
  }

  return mimemail_multipart_body($parts, "$content_type; charset=utf-8");
}

function mimemail_parse($message) {

But then again, I don;t know much about coding... do you think you could provide a patch?
Many thanks!

I can't get this fixed on Hotmail, I tried all the patches that are suggested above.
I'm using the dev version of Drupal 6 (2009-Jun-08), trying to send an email with Simplenews/Mimemail, the layout is in a table and contains 2 images. Works perfectly for me in Thunderbird, Outlook 2007 and Gmail. But in Hotmail it keeps appearing as a text mail... It's really driving me crazy, I have no idea what this can be.

Duplicated by #310305: Disabling base64 encoding - hotmail compatibility This issue has a similar patch, with the same positive effect. There must be something good in this solution, but ... The thing is that issues only attract people who have a problem. The people who will have a problem when a bad patch is committed don't have a voice. And problems occur when under unforseen situations, situations different from the one for which the patch was created. So, the patch (each patch) should be tested under may different conditions, especially conditions for which the patch was not created.

All can help:
Who wants to contribute and to set-up a test-environment which can send various kind of emails (with/without attachement, with/without embedded images, with/without plain text alternatives, ... (I can't think of more variations))?
Who has/wants to set-up many different email clients to receive and verify the test mails on?

@Sutharsan:

I'd be happy to help, I have my own server, and I too experience the issue. The fix for changing the $content_type worked for me. As a simple workaround that could be adopted into the next release, how about having an admin configuration checkbox that allows this line to be set or otherwise...

The patch would then become something like (on line 321 I believe)

   if ($adminScreenOutlookWorkaroundEnabled == TRUE) {
     $content_type = 'multipart/mixed';
  }

Obviously this variable would be the status of the checkbox on the admin configuration screen, which would obviously be disabled by default, but for those of us who have to patch this everytime a new release is deployed, we could just enable it. I don't really know what causes the problem, but I experience it from my development laptop and on our live server too, as well as on my own external development server. I run Ubuntu 8.04 on all these boxes.

Ian.

I agree with Sutharsan regarding the patch.

I tested the patch in Yahoo & for some reason, the e-mail shows an attachment icon. This was not the case without the patch.

I also tested forwarding the e-mail (e.g. in Outlook 97). Just hitting forward, the e-mail seems fine and the HTML version is visible. However, the e-mail that is actually sent is plain text as a jumble of nonsense characters). Forwarding in Hotmail, Yahoo, and Gmail are fine.

This patch works for me. Added a admin setting to choose character encoding, and converting the message to the selected encoding before sending.
This can be updated with more encodings in includes/mimemail.admin.inc line 44. So far only added the ones I need.
'#options' => array(
'utf-8' => t('Unicode (UTF-8)'),
'iso-8859-1' => t('Latin-1 (ISO-8859-1'),

Please have a look and see if it solves your need.

Is this issue still valid at all? I've just signed up for a hotmail account and tested this with the unmodified version of 6.x-alpha1. The HTML test e-mail arrived just fine, aside from other issues not related to this of course, but it was HTML not plain text. I tried it via webmail and via POP3 with Thunderbird too. Can you give some instructions how to reproduce this?

Another update to the patch. Seemed it didn't solve the problem at all. Needed to remove the double boundary definitions.

sgabe:

It's not just related to hotmail. A plain install of mimemail and simplenews encodes the mail with UTF-8. Mailclients which support utf-8 encoding has no problem with this,
but others do. This patch helps the users who use clients that does not support utf-8. Also the issue with double boundary interfered with hotmail on my end. As far as I
read the mime definitions, you shouldn't use a double set of boundaries. The unpatched mimemail module produces these headers:

Content-Type: multipart/alternative;
charset=utf-8;
boundary="69622e1edd535c65f62c577792817388"
MIME-Version: 1.0

and then:
--69622e1edd535c65f62c577792817388
Content-Type: multipart/alternative;
boundary="0fe041e6322f489bf2015bb9fc3acaf9"

and at the end:

--0fe041e6322f489bf2015bb9fc3acaf9--

Just tested on a fresh site. Here's how to reproduce:

Install mimemail and simplenews modules.
Set up a newsletter and send to your hotmail address.

The mail shows up as a plaintext mail, with the html as attachment.

For hotmail the boundary fix is enough to show the htmlmail correctly. For other clients which do not show utf-8 mails correctly, the rest of the patch is needed.

I did some investigation in this issue. These patches we have here don't solve the problem, just handle the symptom with serious side effects.

Changing the content-type to multipart/mixed breaks the embedded images in Thunderbird.
The single boundary works with only text/html and text/plain part messages, but breaks the embedded images and the attachments altogether everywhere.

I think what we miss here is the content-type header's type parameter containing the content type of the display message.

The type parameter must be specified and its value is the MIME media type of the "root" body part. It permits a MIME user agent to determine the content-type without reference to the enclosed body part. If the value of the type parameter and the root body part's content-type differ then the User Agent's behavior is undefined.

See RFC 2387.

So, if we are sending a HTML message, we should have something like this:

<?php
function mimemail_html_body($body, $subject, $plaintext = FALSE, $text = NULL, $attachments = array()) {
  ...
  $content_type = 'multipart/related type="multipart/alternative"';
  ...
  $content = mimemail_multipart_body($content, 'multipart/alternative', TRUE);
  ...
  return mimemail_multipart_body($parts, "$content_type; charset=utf-8");
}
?>

Tested with:

Windows Live Hotmail
Outlook 2007
Thunderbird

In scenarios:

Simple (html and plain)
Attachment (html and plain)
Embedded image (html and plain)
Embedded image with attachment (html and plain)

Of course since we have different issues waiting to be fixed, with 6.x-1.0-alpha1 it is not perfect, but a HTML message comes through fine in every case. The attached patch here applies to 6.x-1.0-alpha1, but I have integrated this into #743150: Mime Mail 6.x-1.0-beta1? and the test results are very promising. I will update that issue ASAP, so you can test this with that one too.

@nardberjean: Thanks for your feedback. I have always wanted a yahoo mail account... :-)

The problem is that the semicolon is missing at the end of the content-type:

$content_type = 'multipart/related; type="multipart/alternative"';

I tested this with Yahoo too, and seems to be working everywhere. I am attaching a revised patch. Please review it, and if it works for you too, mark this issue as RTBC.

#83 is almost perfect ;-)

Altough everything works well with it applied (as much as I've checked), according to RFC-2387, charset parameter should not be used with multipart/related (see for instance this post regarding that).

So, here is my patch which should resolve also this minor issue.

Comment #88

luti commented 1 April 2010 at 22:43

nardberjean,

probably it is related to this:

The multipart type is intended to show the same content in different ways, but this is sometimes abused; some e-mail spam takes advantage of the format to trick spam filters into believing that the message is legitimate. They do this by including innocuous content in the text part of the message and putting the spam in the HTML part (which is what displays to the user).

Most e-mail spam is sent in HTML for these reasons, so spam filters sometimes give higher spam scores to HTML messages.

Confirmed this fixed our problem with messages appearing in text form with an HTML attachment in Outlook 2007. Looking forward to this fix being rolled into the main branch, so I don't have to remember to apply this patch every time we update Mime Mail.

every time we update Mime Mail.

Sadly that's not happening too often...

@sgabe,

I would rather say fortunately... ;-)

A lot of updates usually means only a code instability (many bugs / issues). If I hate something it is a new non-development version released every couple of days (as I never know which version is more buggy in such a case - if it is better to stay with the old one or update and risk to have even more problems after...).

But, don't misunderstand me - I am also looking forward to close at least some of all those pending mimemail issues, and finally get a non-development release. And, appreciate your effort regarding that. Thanks.

@LUTi: Yep, you're right. That would be a worse scenario.

thanks for the great job!

patch #52 worked for me as well, and I hope to have this fixed in the next release

@Hobbes: Patch in #52 is not good! You should use the patch in #87 which is the right one and committed to HEAD.

The committed patch (now in alpha3) does not work with the mailclient "TheBat!" - the mail's body is empty. It did work in alpha2, so I had to revert parts of that patch. The attached patch against alpha3 makes the necessary reversions to work again. Please consider another workaround for Hotmail.

I just tested with The Bat! (latest Home) and I couldn't reproduce, everything is fine in all scenarios.

However, this issue is not just about Hotmail. If you read the whole thread, you will see many client is affected by this. Nor yet it seems the #733566: iPhone displays only plain text instead of html issue is related. So a revert patch like yours would break again tons of things for sure, without bringing us real benefit. If you take a look at the patch, you will notice it is good, since before we didn't respect RFC 2387. In turn, we should do that.

Please, try and test on a clean install. If the problem persist, try to provide details how to reproduce.

I have sent a test mail using the great new Views Send module in the "Full HTML" input type. See the attached zip file for the resulting mbox file by sending the same message using Mime Mail 6.x-1.0-alpha2 (mimemail-alpha2.mbox) versus 6.x-1.0-alpha3 (mimemail-alpha3.mbox).

@roball: Are you using the SMTP module?

@roball: I guess you are using SMTP module and experiencing this #727744: Missing boundary delimiter in multipart/related e-mails with SMTP and MimeMail issue. I reported the problem and provided a patch a few months ago. Please, test and confirm that issue, so hopefully it can be committed soon.

Marking this issue as fixed again and hopefully last time :) since the problem reported by roball is caused by SMTP as I described above.

Hi Gabor,

I wanted to answer also here after posting to #727744: Missing boundary delimiter in multipart/related e-mails with SMTP and MimeMail, but couldn't reach drupal.org the entire remaining day yesterday. Yes, you are right, the problem was in the SMTP module and your patch there indeed fixed it :-) Thanks!

However, the #87 addition to the patch that fixed the original issue should be reverted IMO because it displays the plain-text part of the multipart message in the wrong charset (iso-8859-1 instead of utf-8), at least in The Bat.

The attached patch reverts the removal of the UTF-8 assignment. See the resulting mbox files from the same mail sent without and with this patch.

Hello Robert,
Please, read the whole thread before bringing up any issue. :-) We discussed this question, see LUTi's post in #87. According to RFC 2387 the multipart/related content-type does not have charset parameter. No point about it, since the individual parts define the charset parameter, which is set to UTF-8 by Mime Mail for that matter. IMHO, PHPMailer should do this too. However, my suggestion is to set the default charset to UTF-8 in class.phpmailer.php when using PHPMailer. See:

class PHPMailer {
  [...]

  /**
   * Sets the CharSet of the message.
   * @var string
   */
  public $CharSet = 'iso-8859-1';

  [...]

Thanks for the suggestion. Will try to change $CharSet in class.phpmailer.php to 'UTF-8' and report back.

sgabe, thanks again for your useful suggestion. Indeed, that was the solution. Thus the committed changes can stay as theey are - relabeling this issue as fixed.

The only thing that users updating Mime Mail from 6.x-1.0-alpha2 to 6.x-1.0-alpha3 and relying on the SMTP module should be aware of is that they must ensure to check 2 things:

Apply patch to SMTP 6.x-1.0-beta4 posted at #727744: Missing boundary delimiter in multipart/related e-mails with SMTP and MimeMail
Change $CharSet in class.phpmailer.php to 'UTF-8'

This is already fixed and committed since alpha3. However the patch in #52 isn't good for anything. You should read the whole thread.
