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?

thanks steve. there isnt a stable version of this yet for 6 so i will just stick with an external app.
have you fixed the problem?
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.
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.
SimpleNews and MIME Mail works
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.

Thank you Ofer. I will try
Thank you Ofer. I will try with that combination of versions. :)
I have it sending html
I have it sending html content as well. Have any of you tried to make up your own templates? I did what the readme.txt told me and copied the simplenews templates to my themes folder but it is still reading it out of the simplenews module folder??? I have other questions but this one seems like a good start if anyone has had the same issue.

Make sure you have the .tpl.php files for simplenews in your administration theme folder if you have one. If anyone has done any rigorous theming of the simplenews module I'd love to hear about it.
Currently I have a content that just repeats a textarea where the client enters in markup for the header and body for each section of the newsletter (couldn't quite figure out how to make a repeating multiple cck group for this so kept it as a repeatable textarea). What I"m looking to have is:
** newsletter body template ******************
Logo img tag
Title tag
List of what is in this newsletter <---- Issue 1: how to get a list of headers here of what's in the newsletter linked to the website version
Repeating content <---- Issue 2: header linked to website content or read the email and have a read more link
** end body template ***********************
** newsletter footer template *****************
some more markup
** end footer template **********************
I have also problem with the
I have also problem with the module "simplenews".
I installed the module and configured correctly. It created a content type "Newsletter issue".
When I save a node of Newsletter issue, the newsletter mail is not sent to the subscribers. It should be sent, right ?
I have poormanscron module for cron job.
Any idea ?
