how do I mark everyone to receive HTML instead of text

[Jonathon]

I have a question, so I'm not very computer literate you could say but I am here with phplist trying to send out a blast email. I have an html template set up and all I need to do is enter my text so I can send it to the list of emails I already have entered. The problem is that I just use copy paste in the message section and then when I do a test email I get random ! or weird spacing. I'm sure I'm just being stupid but can some one tell me how to put text in the message box and get it to come out right when emailed in HTML, so that my template will show up as well as clear text? I thought because the interface was in Rich-Text formate that it would take a document right from word and convert it as its sends to HTML to match the template. Can someone decipher what I'm saying and help me? thanks.

I went thru PHPMyAdmin and set the default value to 1 for HTML email. No problem there.

However on the subscription page the box is still uncheckeed. What I would like is a way/method for the HTML box to be checked by default. That will involve some PHP code changing on that page. Can you advise? That IMO the admin area should have an adjustment to control this issue .. by defaulting the control rather than advising everyone to edit all users to html email via user controls or db edits.

Thanks for any replies.

Yes, selecting an option on the subscribe page sounds much easier. Thank you for posting this alternative!

Hey, I think ive done it, Ive been to Manage Users, Reconcile Users and send as HTML to all users.

Will this be it now, finished. Ive been sending over 6000 emails out for the last few months and Ive just noticed that the majority on messages got sent in TEXT format..

Do i need to do anything else?

Cheers

In order to enable already existing list/lists of users to receive email in html format:
Manage users > Reconcile users > Mark all users to receive Html

This will set the users' attribute "Send this user HTML emails" to 1 for every registered user.

Now that I have marked everyone to receive HTML emails, but when I am sending test emails of real emails the users who are marked to receive HTML emails are receiving text emails (without HTML code).

Can any one help me find why is this happening?
