I installed Mailhandler 6.x-1.5 module on Drupal 6.2 and use Mozilla Thunderbird to post blog via email. However, I encountered some format problems on composing these emails:
1. I tried to post images to blog by using "insert images" on Thunderbird, but these images (I tried .jpg, .png and .gif) are missing on the blogs. Is my method wrong? Do Mailhandler or Thunderbird support this feature?
2. On Thunderbird, I select "B" to change the word to a bold-letter form. But on my blog, these words are not displayed in a proper way (e.g. word -> *word*)
3. Even though I follow the below format on composing Comments, it returns a word "2" as the contents of Comment on blog finally.
type: comment
nid:
4. Does "From header" (Mailhandler setting) mean accepting emails from the mentioned email addresses? If I set it as "Sender", does it mean accepting emails from the drupal users' email addresses? Can I directly type email addresses on this field? If I would like to type multiple email addresses, how are they separated?
5. Except "type: forum", what do I require to add to specify which container or forum I write to if I insert a new forum? Use "taxonomy"?
My Mailhandler settings are:
POP3 , port 110
Mime preference: HTML
Default command
promote: 1
status: 1
comment: 2
format: 3
My Thunderbird setting is:
Using HTML format on sending email
#1
@1 Use the Mailsave module (there is a BIG link on the module page to a manual)
@2 Probably your content filter (the 'Filtered HTML' one, filters out the < b > tag.
@3 http://drupal.org/node/224809
@4 this is the field in the header of the email that mailhandler will use to retrieve the email of the poster. Once it has extracted the email address, that address is matched to a user, and that user needs proper permissions to be able to post.
@5 taxonomy: [15] will put messages in forum 15
( edited to show the < b > tag properly)
