Author Topic: HTML & text options on the Message Codes (Read 2624 times)

I found that the option to enter HTML and plain text works great (as you would expect) in the creation of an email.

However, that dual option doesn't exist for the message codes.

That would be a big timesaver to be able to move the HTML and non-HTML options for the message codes where they belong instead of having to put them in teh messages themselves like I have to do now because I must avoid displaying the HTML code in the email if the user accepts plain text only and I happen to use HTML in the message code for my SPAM disclaimer (as all my emails are from verified opt-in lists).

Make sense?

I tried to make the codes HTML and text friendly when I could. For example, the remove link code will output <br>'s instead of line breaks (in the optional text) when used in the HTML section of the message. Custom text codes share this property. I see now how this approach limits the benefit of HTML. I will take this into consideration and am already having some excellent ideas, such as an HTML section with the ability to position where the code, a link, etc is placed.

For now you might create 2 custom text message codes, one for text and one for the HTML section of your message. In the HTML code, enable the option "Do not translate line breaks to <br> in HTML messages." so that extra <br>'s are not added to your HTML messages.

Thanks for the great suggestion!

My pleasure - it is such a great product I can only wait with anticipation on the next release.

Any idea when that will be?

I am tripling my efforts. I hope to have the next release out in a few weeks, at best.
