MazY and ahimanikya, if you want to change the mail format yourself, look for the following code in post_info.asp

---

Now a questions: Forgive my ignorance or my laziness if this has been answered elsewhere but the option "No of addresses per email" - what does that actually configure?

---

quote:

It configures how many email adresses that shall be put on the "to" of each email

Many thanks. I can be incredibly thick at times. I'd already be lost without this mod though!

And I haven't tested it thoroughly but prelim results are very positive!

First - I love the subscription MOD. But...I have a concern about the fact that all the recipients (or the number of recipients defined in the configuration area) are all listed in the TO: field of the message. Fundamentally that's a big problem...revealing the recipient list to all recipients!

I also experienced problems with the format of the email message...particularly if the message was a "reply with quote"...I get HTML/FORUM code...not pretty.

inc_mail.asp - changed the message body type to HTML; placed the receipient list in the BCC property and created a single fake receipient (not sure if it has to be valid or not)

But won't this completely ruin the received mail for those without HTML mail? In that, a text mail read by an HTML mail client is fine but the other way around....

Perhaps if we simply left out the content of the message and send the subscriber a note with:

1) notice that someone has submitted a response
2) the topic
3) the URL

Hi Anders,

I haven't taken the plunge yet... I'm running a heavily modified sr2 site and I have to really look things over before I jump in...

I like your mod a lot -- good work!

I have a question about the possibility of hiding the subsrcription checkboxes in the default.asp page by simply preceeding the bits of code with either: if mLev = 3 (for moderators) or if mLev = 4 (for administrators).

You know your code better than I... you think this would work without too much trouble?

This would allow moderators or administrators the ability to set-up subscriptions but not the general public -- which is what I need... and perhaps other people too...

Thanks for your time...

Cheers!
