Plain & HTML Emails Possible?

[GillyB]

Hi All,

Sorry if this isn't the right place to post this, but it seemed appropriate at the time - and thanks for all time and effort that's gone into creating such a great script.

I'm trying to get the script to send me the results of our enquiry form in both HTML and Plain formats - HTML in readable form for our operators and the plain text in CSV to be processed into our database. I've set up templates for both and have placed the following code in the form:
<input type="hidden" name="mail_options" value="PlainTemplate=csvtemp.txt,HTMLTemplate=enqhtmltemp.htm,TemplateMissing=nv" />

The form appears to be working OK but I'm only receiving the HTML email. I've tried changing it to just one or the other to make sure the templates are working OK and this was fine.

Is it possible to set up the script so that I can receive both?

Hi,

My guess is that FormMail is sending both but your email client only showing the HTML if it is present.

If you can look at the "source" of the email, you'll see the plain stuff in there.

Hi again,

I think you're wanting to attach the PlainTemplate to the HTML email.

You can do this. Search for "null filter" in the subscription forum: http://www.tectite.com/vbforums/forumdisplay.php?f=12

Hi Russell,

Thanks for such a quick response - and your second suggestion of attaching the PlainText file sorted it out - thank you!

FYI: I checked the email source as you suggested first time around but the plain text stuff wasn't there.

Regards,

OK, I'll try again.

How can I get the script to send a plain text e-mail containing ALL of the form data, plus an html attachment containing a selection of form items?

i dont know.

but this thread: http://www.tectite.com/vbforums/showthread.php?t=158

indicates you can do the reverse....have an HTML body and a plain text attachment.
