html newsletters

Nolan's picture

Hi,

I am having problems getting my html newlsetters configured and working. I am using Drupal 6 and have installed both simplenews and mime mail modules. However, there isnt an official release of the mime mail module for version 6 yet. Instead it is a development snapshot. Could it be that, that is causing the problem?

Any advice greatly appreciated.

Nolan.

Hi Nolan,

Are you using the simplenews template module?

Hi Nolan, have you fixed the problem?

I´m having a problem with mime mail and simplenews.

When i try to send text mail via cron there are no problem, but when i try to send html mail... it is never sent. And the status is "sending via cron" i run cron with cron.php in my browser, but the status report says: "0 emails sent in 0 seconds."

Thank you very much for your attention

Hi,

I had a similar problem. I was able to send text using simplenews modules but could not get it to send html mail. I gave up trying to get it to work using drupal 6. As an alternative I intend to use a standalone piece of software such as phpmailer. The person I am setting it up for doesnt need it just yet, and so at the time of writing I havent implemented a solution.

thks,
nolan.

Hi Nolan,

I am able to send HTML email through Simplenews with MIME Mail.

I simply installed both modules, and HTMLMail (although I am unsure if HTMLMail helps out with Simplenews).

Let me know if I may help further.
