HTML in Custom Emails?

[bitofgrace]

Hi again
Was attempting to customize the emails that s2 generates upon payment and registration to match our site's generated emails. (graphically)
The result coming through is raw HTML. : / What do i need to or can i do so that the emails maintain HTML table formatting?

I believe the emails will be sent in plain text, I don't know if HTML emails are supported. I'll ask Jason.

Yes, all emails processed by s2Member are sent with a text/plain Content-Type header. You can Filter this with WordPress, but I don't advise doing so, because it may create problems ( i.e. this affects all instances of the wp_mail function ), not good.

Create this directory and file:
/wp-content/mu-plugins/wp-mail.php

Code: Select all

<?php
add_filter("wp_mail_content_type", "wp_mail_content_type_force");
    function wp_mail_content_type_force(){ return "text/html"; }
?>

@TODO: I'll see what we can do in a future release to make HTML emails possible w/s2Member only.

Thank you for the help - for now will style the text somewhat like Paypal's receipt emails then

Just an FYI... HTML (custom text?) emails will be supported in WP 3.3 (at least that is the plan).
