Hello,

Is there any way to send fully formatted HTML E mail messages
from Drupal4.7?

With the add on module TinyMCE editor you can get the text areas
in Drupal to accept and format E Mail templates in HTML for various
modules like INVITE, SEND etc.

However the generated E mail messages are send in plain HTML

Is there any way or admin settings in DRUPAL4.7 to output
the messages as formatted HTML pages ?

Many thanks in advance

No. There are no such functionality currently implemented in the invite.module

Sorry to be dense, but I haven't run across this term before and a search was not helpful. Can someone enlighten me on the difference between "Fully Formatted HTML" and "Plain HTML"?

I think he meant "html" and "plain text" :)

I need fancy HTML emails as well - trying to understand the interchange above. Did you mean "HTML" and "Plain Text"? If not, could you expand upon your orginial question for my benefit? Thanks.

Good question

By Formatted HTML I mean the clean nice page with images etc that you see in your browser.

By plain HTML I ment the unreadable mix of html tags and text most of the E Mail software
including those in DRUPAL sends to your friends mail box or mail client like Outlook
which is promptly deleted.

My question is is it possible to send a nice message with images to your friend
through the INVITE module to encourage him to take a look of your DRUPAL site.

A great deal for business.

Thanks - I thought that was what you meant. Would I be correct that "Fully formatted HTML" would be a synonym for "MIME-encoded" email? This seems to be exactly what you are describing.

If so, I see that there is a Module in CVS called "Mime Mail" - have you tried it as an answer to your original question? I haven't myself, but I wonder if installing it will add the capability that your are looking for directly to the Invite Module. If you do try it, please let me know what you find. Cheers.

I have also installed the SEND module which needs
Mimemail module to be installed first

I have tested SEND , you can infact insert an image to the E Mail template
from the admin.
However when you send a test message, it reports the message was sent
but the message is not delivered. So not sure it works either.

It looks like the INVITE module is not written to use the Mime Mail

I was afraid of that. Well, I will continue to search for a solution (since I need it too). I will pre-post to this thread if I have any success. Please do so as well if you work it out - it is a rather crucial need for a number of my clients.

Any new answer to this task?

Sending formated html invite (invite module) email

Have the same situation, that I want to send an invite mail filled with some informations about the current viewed node. This needs html, but only for this mail.

There are two solutions atm

project/mimemail
project/htmlmail

aparently after 3 years of drupal 6 in the wild, mimemail is still alpha and htmlmail converts all maisl to html no matter what. Itdon't even adds an plain text part to the mail.
