only plain text phpmailer

[helenp]

Hi, I have installed phpmailer v. 2.0.0
It works perfect, but I donīt like that I receive the emails as html, I would prefer to receive them as plain text. I have tried to change the configuration, but It dont work.

This is in the php page where the form is:
$mail->IsHTML(true); 
I tried changing it to false but keep receiving as html.
This is on the include class.phpmailer.php
function IsHTML($bool) {
 if($bool == true) {
  $this->ContentType = 'text/html';
 } else {
  $this->ContentType = 'text/plain';
 }
 }
I tried to change both to text/plain, and nothing either.
Also this can be found in class.phpmailer.php
 $this->IsHTML(true);
 $this->Body = $message;
 $textMsg = trim(strip_tags($message));
 if ( !empty($textMsg) && empty($this->AltBody) ) {
  $this->AltBody = $textMsg;
 }
 if ( empty($this->AltBody) ) {
  $this->AltBody = 'To view this email message, open the email in with HTML compatibility!' . "\n\n";
 }
 }
and these comments:
 /**
 * Sets the Body of the message. This can be either an HTML or text body.
 * If HTML then run IsHTML(true).
 * @var string
 */
 var $Body    = '';
 /**
 * Sets the text-only body of the message. This automatically sets the
 * email to multipart/alternative. This body can be read by mail
 * clients that do not have HTML email capability such as mutt. Clients
 * that can read HTML will view the normal Body.
 * @var string
 */
 var $AltBody 

I suppose there is a way to change the configuration, but I canīt figure out how.
Thanks in advance.

Try changing this line:

$this->IsHTML(true); 

To the following:

$this->IsHTML(FALSE); 

See if that helps :)

No, thanks,
That donīt work either.
Donīt understand, should be a way.

I wonder if its a setting in your mail program? Did you try sending to another mail account? If you altered the isHTML function to always return 'text/plain', its strange it should come through as HTML.

The other possibility is a mailer bug. Have you contacted the developers? Do they have a support forum?

Thanks dreamcatcher,
I do not think is is my email program though normally I receive plain text emails.
I just asked in their forum, lets see if any luck.
Even though there are not many posting there.

The mailer project passed hands awhile back and now has new developers. If you get no joy there, try Google Groups.

Search all of the files associated with the mailer for Content-Type, or something similar, to see where else the content type is being changed. There is something wrong here.

Also, sorry for my previous response; I wasn't really paying attention and my answer wasn't anything helpful.

eelixduppy,
I did a search for ContentType and in class.phpmailer.php there were some:
/**
* Sets the Content-type of the message.
* @var string
*/
var $ContentType = 'text/plain';

switch($this->message_type) {
case 'plain':
$result .= $this->HeaderLine('Content-Transfer-Encoding', $this->Encoding);
$result .= sprintf("Content-Type: %s; charset=\"%s\"", $this->ContentType, $this->CharSet);
break;

if($this->InlineImageExists()){
$result .= sprintf("Content-Type: %s;%s\ttype=\"text/html\";%s\tboundary=\"%s\"%s", 'multipart/related', $this->LE, $this->LE, $this->boundary[1], $this->LE);
} else {
$result .= $this->HeaderLine('Content-Type', 'multipart/mixed;');

case 'alt':
$result .= $this->HeaderLine('Content-Type', 'multipart/alternative;');
$result .= $this->TextLine("\tboundary=\"" . $this->boundary[1] . '"');
break;
}

$result .= sprintf("Content-Type: %s;%s" . "\tboundary=\"%s\"%s", 'multipart/alternative', $this->LE, $this->boundary[2], $this->LE.$this->LE);

$result .= sprintf("Content-Type: %s; charset = \"%s\"", $contentType, $charSet);

$mime[] = sprintf("Content-Type: %s; name=\"%s\"%s", $type, $name, $this->LE);

return ( ! isset($mimes[strtolower($ext)])) ? 'application/x-unknown-content-type' : $mimes[strtolower($ext)];

I do not see anything to change there to try....

Lol,
In another forum they helped,
was stupid, you had to eliminate the AltBody as well to make it work, so works now.
