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.
