Author Topic: Work-arounds for mail problems in 2.2 (Read 1019 times)

Hi there - as reported on the issues there is a problem with attachments and html emails in 2.2 - due to be fixed for 2.3, but causing us havoc in the meantime.

- here's the feedback from one of my users:

"Sorry Myles but sorting out who wants what [plain/html] is just too much faffing. We are really busy and under-resourced as it is! CIVI crm is wonderful - but not this bit."

I've set all the existing mail format preferences to "Text" - now the system should only send text emails rather than appending the html version to the plain text version

However I am can't see anywhere to set the default value on new records - i.e. when a new record is created the field prefered_mail_format is defaulted to "Both". I need to change it to default to "Text".

To save me stepping through all the code, does anyone know where the default is set?

this issue is fixed in 2.2.1 and will be on the download servers in a few hours

>> When a new record is created the field prefered_mail_format is defaulted to "Both".

Is there a setting or file that I can change to set the preferred mail format to "HTML" for all new contacts?

Many thanks,

this is set to default in the schema:

Code: [Select]

     preferred_mail_format enum('Text', 'HTML', 'Both')   DEFAULT "Both" COMMENT 'What is the preferred mode of sending an email.',

You'll need to alter the schema to change the default. Please check the mysql docs for how to modify the schema

thanx
