ok, I don’t get this. I got a simple page in html with some styles, images and text and tables (newsletter). When I copy/paste it in the mail module, select html format, word wrap on or off (tried both), I get a blank email.

I tried the same html code in my old pmachine install and it works perfectly.

I ran through some things and discovered that it won’t come through because of LINE BREAKS. When I remove all line breaks (and the whole page is one line) the html comes through. But this is crazy right? ;p

How can I send a normal html page?

tia!

avroo, a few questions first.

Which version and build of EE are you on? You can find that information in the bottom of each control panel page. I need to know both items.

When you sent out your newsletter, where did you send it to?

Which kind of email client were you using to receive the email?

Are regular emails that aren’t in html format coming through OK?

version 1.6.0
Build:  20070705

I sent it to my own email address, personal/businbess email server (not a public address like hotmail,gmail,yahoo etc). I am using Outlook 2007.

But I figured it out already: I had a style tag in my head. And when the style tags aren’t on the same line, it breaks up.

Good:

<style type=“text/css”> body { font-family: verdana; margin : 0px 0px 0px 0px; background-color: #e3e7ce; background-repeat: repeat-y; background-position: 50%; background-attachment: fixed; background-color: #f1f1f1; } a { color: #e47119; text-decoration: underline; } a:hover { color: #e47119; text-decoration: underline; } .problem { font-size: 11px; color: white; } </style>

bad: (results in white / empty email)

<style type=“text/css”>
body {
font-family: verdana;
margin : 0px 0px 0px 0px;
... etc
}

Hope there’s an explaination for it, because like I said: pmachine is handling okay with this.

thanks

That’s kind of weird. I’ll PM you a few email addresses to send to to see if I can replicate the problem on Thunderbird, Google and the Mail thingie (I forget the real name) for Vista, and Outlook 2003.

I don’t use Outlook 2007.
