Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.Hi,
After updating a couple of modules, I get this error message when creating or editing a node, just after saving it. Note that there are rules that send emails when creating and modifying nodes.
Fatal error: Cannot use string offset as an array in /path/to/drupal/sites/all/modules/pmail/pmail.module on line 42
I disabled the module Personalized E-mails 6.x-1.x-dev (2010-Jul-11) and no more error message.

TAZ01 commentedI get the same exact error, but not when I am saving a node. I get it when I am doing the test configuration of the SMTP settings
Or when you click on the "preview an example mail"
==========================
Test configuration
Recipient:myemail@myemail.com
Type in an address to have a test e-mail sent there.
Preview: For theming of HTML mails sent via Mime Mail, you can preview an example mail. (this link goes to mydomain.com/phpmailer/preview)
==========================

smk-ka commentedHm, that's a bug with MimeMail: the format of hook_mail_alter has significantly changed between Drupal 5 and 6, and they're still on 5. hook_mail_alter() now receives a single array with message parameters. Although-- I'm not sure why MimeMail has to call this hook by itself, it should already have been run when mimemail() is invoked.

sgabe commentedDuplicate of #448996: Wrong implementation of hook_mail_alter().
Comment #4
smk-ka commentedPHPMailer indeed also contained that bogus hook_mail_alter() code to provide HTML mail previews using MimeMail. This code has now been removed from all branches. Reassigning back to PHPMailer and marking fixed.
