Plain text option for the email
by tonalt on Thu May 08, 2008 2:06 pm
I think it should be possible to choose plain text format for the email. Now there is html table mess and user don't have control about it at all. Columns are too wide etc.. And I don't want to change the source code.

Hi tonalt,
There should - but for some reason it doesn't work when we tried to change it. You'll find a thread here somewhere.
You can use an email template to control your output instead.

Hi Bob
It seems that email template uses html table by default also. It's just one column but it's table...
I want to get control to make plain text and use tabulator characters (ASCII value 9) as separators. IMHO it looks much nicer than HTML table and all email clients understands that.

Hi Glare,
Nice, thank you.
For the öäü or ß you probably need to use html entities ö ä ü and ß

if i use the html entities they won´t be translated, they become ö in the mail too.
for example: i use in the Template "Lotus Notes Größe (Größe)" and become in the mail the same.

Hi Glare,
Ohhhh . . . not so good, I'd forgotten that you were using plain text. Is there a character set problem? (I don't understand tham at all)

Hi Glare,
Oh - I had though the problem was with sending the template not with saving it. I think perhaps the code has to be hacked in admin.chronocontact.php. Look for the saveChronoContact function and somewhere in there the template code has to be htmlencoded.

Hi Max,
Is there a fix for this with the two lines of code before submit. For me it is vital to have4 a plain text email and also a generated reference in the subject line as the form is read by a third party bit of software.
Thanks
TIm
