When setting up my MailChimp account I'm given the following option:

Let your subscribers pick an email format?
Yes, allow users to pick which email format email they prefer (plain-text, HTML, or mobile-friendly format).

I've selected this option in the list setup page but my users (on the Drupal side) are unable to specify whether they receive HTML or TXT emails.

Thanks for a great module!

This is not strictly a duplicate, because the other issue is about setting this option as a merge variable.

The attached patch implements this feature of the Mailchimp API. What it does is this :

When the MC admin settings are saved it detects if the option "Show email formats" is set in MC.

If it is set three radio buttons are added to the MC forms (text,html,mobile). For the anonymous form the result is simply passed to MC when signing up. For the auth form it is also possibly to update the setting for a list one is already subscribed to.

I redid the patch against the latest CVS.

Hopefully this can be considered for inclusion, have a look at the screenshot for what it does.

this is great, I would rather not confuse subscribers by sending them to the mailchimp website

Changing this to a feature request and postponing as all new features are going to into 7.x.

“And now our watch [for support of the 6.x version of the MailChimp module] has ended…” With the end of Drupal 6 support, I’m sad to say we too must turn the page.

Fret not! The 7.x-4.x and 8.x versions come highly recommended. Both are using Mailchimp’s new API 3.0 and are being actively maintained. “What is dead may never die, but rises again, harder and stronger!”
