[COLOR=“DarkOrchid”]I tried sending a fairly simple newsletter (version 2.0.15) with tables, graphics and links, and found that at least one that goes to a family member arrived with nothing but html code. The samples sent to my Outlook Express look just fine. With no click through’s, I am thinking there were more problem emails than proper.
If I create an email newsletter in Microsoft Publish It, how do I embed it into CS-Cart? I know there were a few threads concerning mailchimp and a couple others, but any investment or monthly expense right in is not feasible.
Thanks in advance…[/COLOR]
[COLOR=“DarkOrchid”]Hope someone has some suggestions[/COLOR] 
Normally when HTML code appears in a message, the mailing agent did not provide a text area or the MIME area was formatted incorrectly.
You could replace an newsletter template file with html from any source.

[COLOR=“DarkOrchid”]The mailing agent is in the cart or on the server ? I am assuming the server… I have heard of MIME, and I know there is an area in the cPanel, but don’t know anything about it. I don’t dare play around somewhere I could do some major damage[/COLOR] :shock:
There are several layers. First is whether you are using PHP Mail or SMTP. Following that, it could depend on your template (if somehow it was html encoded versus raw html then it would show as html).
You shouldn’t have to do anything. That you are getting different results from the same mail sent to different recipients indicates the problem is probably on the recipients side (their mail reading agent). But it’s always possible that the message got corrupted in the multiple spam scans it probably got along the way.

[COLOR=“DarkOrchid”]I know you must be right about the spam corrupt files. The one I KNOW of as html coding is through cox.net, and it is viewed online. Not sure if it is sent PHP or SMTP, but that is something I should check into for my own information.
I guess it is raw html. I designed it in Dreamweaver, copied and pasted. I don’t know any other way of doing it. This is all so very new to me.[/COLOR]
If you copied to the appropriate tpl file then you should be fine.
Make sure you have no html, head or body tags in your template and you should be fine. If you do, it will probably confuse some online mail readers.
