[drupal-support] Sending HTML/Plain text e-mails from within drupal
My question is quite simple, only the answer gives me nightmares... :-( Is it possible to override the "User e-mail settings" - which are located at '?q=admin/user/configure' - so we can sent html/plain text e-mails with drupal? No matter if this could be done using a module, or whatever.. Any suggestions are welcome, but hacking the core code is the least option in my opinion.. Maybe, we want to see this in drupal as a feature? i am using the latest Drupal HEAD. (Gerhard, I know you think they are evil, and they are.. But, the client is King..) Stefan.

Well, it is not my client. ;) What you could do is to abuse Drupal's ability to use an smtp library instead of using php mail() directly. Have a look at user_mail to see what I mean. Your smtp.inc file could do anything to that mail even adding html. Cheers, Gerhard

Okay, I located the smtp.inc file in the Drupal Tips & Tricks directory [1].. But does *every* server allow this kind of e-mailing? I'm not sure, but when i did search through my phpinfo(); i found: PHP Core Configuration: --------------------------------------------------- | Directive | Local Value | Master Value | --------------------------------------------------- | SMTP | localhost | localhost | --------------------------------------------------- And these were the only instances of 'smtp' I could found. From smtp.inc: <snippet> // The recipients (can be multiple) $send_params['recipients'] = $mail; // The headers of the mail $send_params['headers'] = explode("\n", $header ."\nSubject: $subject\nTo: $mail"); // The body of the email $send_params['body'] = str_replace("\n", "\r\n", $message); </snippet> I probably have to change the ' $send_params['body'] = str_replace("\n", "\r\n", $message);' So it does something like: <code> $send_params['body'] = $html_email_begin . str_replace("\n", "\r\n", $message) . $html_email_end; </code> Gerhard, Thanks for your help!
