Hi Guys,
I've installed Simplenews and Mimemail, and i've created a newsletter theme for my mail.
My problem is that when i send my mail to an Outlook client, the see the TEXT version, and the HTML version is attached, when i send to Gmail i see only the HTML version.
It seems that Mimemail sends with content-type: multipart/alternative, and this causes some confusion in Outlook.
Is it possible to send the mail as only HTML, no TEXT version?
I've been searching around Google, but i can't fint the answer :-(
Hope someone has the answer in here.
Regards
Martin

We can't be the only ones sending mails to Outlook clients.

Boedlen,
did you try to send the test mail to different accounts using Outlook.
With my installation of Simplenews and the account of Outlook we used there was never this problem. I had that only with hotmail. My helpers solved it in the mime module - but I have no record of what was done (yet).
We had formatting problems with Outlook and that was solved with php.tpl files - one for online viewing of the newsletters and one for sending the newsletters by email.
I am still testing the system - so no real "live" experience yet.
What I can see are changes to the file "mimemail.inc" -

I hope this helps somehow.
And please do come back here and add some explanation if you manage to resolve your problem - so even I can understand what the problem is / was.
Thanks & good luck ....
Thank you, this helped. With
Thank you, this helped. With original mimemail.inc, Outlook clients would see html email as an attachment. I replaced it with mimemail.inc from above and it now displays email in body.
Thanks again!
