Subscriptions has a mail-with-cron solution in testing right now. tdobes is queuing it up with his other testing on his 4.7 environment. It's an internally based solution that stores node changes in a table until cron runs, and then routes them through the same logic as before. -- Dan Ziemecki On 3/15/06, Gerhard Killesreiter <gerhard@killesreiter.de> wrote:

It would be helpful if we could get a summary of where development stands with regards to mail functionality of all sorts. I know it has been an active 6 months in this arena, but the work that's been done hasn't been publicized, and people who weren't involved in the development (like me) have no idea what is out there and what the best code to use is.
1. What happened to the initiative to make a mail.inc?
Got put on hold since Dries didn't want it for 4.7. This includes a html2txt converter, btw, and Dries already agreed it could be in core.
2. What are the best/newest modules that have major mail functions, like mailing lists, mailhandler, newsletter, subscription etc.?
No idea, really. Allie has been working on send.module and mimemail.module. The latter took some ideas from my mail.module. The idea is that all modules should send mail through it. I think we could add it to core for 4.8.
