Hi guys,

3 quick questions about this hook.

1. Does it fire on bulk mailing via civimail?
2. Does it fire after replacement token values have been merged?
3. I think it would be great if we can also alter the mail headers in the $param


Thanks,


Cheers!

Just checked

1. Yes it works with bulk mailing
2. Slight problem there, I'm trying to auto append google analytics tracking code to the emails messages they are appended after civimail has rewrote al the links (if clickthrough tracking is enabled), which means that the hook fires after the link rewrite, (my suggestion is that it should fire before, or have the link rewriter not drop the additionally appended query strings)
3. We use X-xsMailingId (which corresponds to the civi mail Mailing ID) to track and sync our mailings from the SMTP server to Civi, right now we do a small core hack in the BAO/Mailing.php to add that header but it could be useful.

nice idea! Are you going to make it a separate module so other can plug it in ?

FYI, we have (as of 3.2.x) already a X header (containing basically the info in the mail envelope, ie mailing or job id and contact I think). Might be something you can use or does it need to bin X-xsMailingId ?
