Raw HTML email being received when used with wp e-commerce

    Hi, I have a website using wp-ecommerce. I needed to make it send emails to people ordering using the proper smtp server for the domain, and your plugin works well for that – apart from recipients of the emails as seeing the raw html.
    The following is taken from the mail log.

    From:	"###########################" <websales@##############.co.uk>

Bcc:	####@##############.org

<p><strong>Transaction Details</strong><br />
Sale Log ID: Purchase # 7</p>
<p>Transaction ID: 1EV52169BX8796625<br />...

    If I send a test using the Postman test email tool, then there seem to be some additional lines of code between the header and email body.

    Is there something I can change in postman to get this working?

    Many thanks

  • I have exactly the same problem as in the previous post.
    I need to convert messages in email log from raw html to normal reading.

    Can’t do it, at least not without logging you out of WordPress. Imagine a user entered an email in your comment form and that form had a link to wp-admin/post.php…. this email could do any action on WordPress that you can do.

    Huge security hole.

    The Postman test email is a multipart/alternative MIME type. This means it contains both a text part and an HTML part (two different formats of the same content).

    From your post, it appears your email contains HTML only. But whatever generated the email receipt did not set the email content type to HTML. Email readers default to Plain Text if the content type is not set. Postman does not alter content, so there’s nothing Postman can do to fix this. It is up to the creator of the email to choose the right content type.

    I’m pretty sure wp-ecommerce works correctly, so you may have something else on your system, such as another plugin, messing up. For example, WordPress has an API that allows any plugin to change the mime-type system-wide. The Postman diagnostic test will reveal this.

    Hey Pat.

    You marked the issue as resolved. How did you resolve it? I’m facing the same thing as your.

    Thank you.
