    One of the users over at phpLD made a nice post about getting emails to send as html a while ago, back in March.
    Being that I am going to be making my own emails to correspond to my template when sending them out for dump, it was noted that this particular post can save anyone some time when wanting to research it, and i appreciated the efforts but the original poster.

    Poster: shares

    Just thought I would help run it by some of you guys who may be interested in your emails and wanting to spruce them up a bit.

    Thanks shares for the research on it.

    I already did this a few days ago, but didn't edit the e-mails, waiting for my custom phpld template and e-mail template to be done so I can test it on a small test directory to see how it works.

    To the people that can't recieve e-mails with html how will it look for them?

    That's something I would like to know. Can a html based email be considered as a spam if the setting was done so?

    it's just a mime type.

    c'mon guys, do some research and implement to test for everyone else.

    set yourself up a test phpld install for testing stuff like this.

    I made a lil' script a while back, similar although it sends a message to all unique e-mails in the DB...comes in handy sometimes.. :)

    What is the difficulty in trying this out? I don't understand. Is it just changing this script, then attempt to send out an email to yourself and see if it works? If so, i don't mind giving it a shot when i have the time....
