**Request** Formatting in E-mail

I’ll look in to this. For the time being I would recommend using an email client that can read HTML emails.

I use Gmail so I’m pretty certain that it can read HTML emails. I also looked into the Saved Forms Submissions page and found that there’s no styling for the submissions in there either.

Thanks for taking your time to create this plugin btw ??

I would also like the content that is entered in textarea fields to be formatted with line/paragraph breaks in emails and on the Saved Form Submissions page.

Also, is there a way to make sure punctuation and other special characters cut and pasted into the textarea don’t appear as: a€│-

Any update on progress made on email formatting? I have a long form that looks terrible and unreadable when it comes through in Outlook. How can I at least ad line breaks and minimal formatting to make it readable? Thank you. It’s a great plugin other than this and I already made a donation.

The author) isn’t interested in fixing this problem. I guess I’m still looking for a decent contact form plugin.

Formatting in E-mail still missing ??

Hi,

If still looking for email formatting, maybe this will help:
Open “custom-contact-forms-front.php” and find the line 526:
$body .= htmlspecialchars($mail_field_label) . ' - ' . htmlspecialchars($val2) . "<br />\n";

Now, I’ve replaced it with this:

$body .= ' <table width=\"500\"  cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"4\" border=\"1\" align=\"center\">
                                   <tr>
                                   <td width=\"180\">'
                              . htmlspecialchars($mail_field_label) .
                                 '</td><td width=\"300\">'
                              . htmlspecialchars($val2) . "</td></tr></table>\n";

Of course, this is just basic try to make it look better and it needs to be styled a lot more.
I guess all the formatting should be kept inline and in basic css because of the mail clients incompatibility.
