Is this possible? Not really... I mean, you could send them an email with an HTML "enhanced" (cough, cough) body that has a "click here" and a plain text link that goes somewhere else, and if they click on one or the other, you know if their current email reader, which might not be their usual mail reader, does or doesn't do HTML enhanced (cough, cough) email... You really should ask them when they subscribe, so they can CHOOSE if they want plain text or that bloated blight upon the land known as HTML enhanced email. Not that I'm biased or anything :-) -- Some people have a "gift" link here. Know what I want? I want you to buy a CD from some indie artist. http://cdbaby.com/browse/from/lynch Yeah, I get a buck.

No. How could your script possibly detect how a person's email client is configured? In any case, you should be sending both parts--plain text & HTML--and allowing the recipients to view it as they wish. And sending mail as HTML only is a good way to have your messages marked as SPAM. brian -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Not really, no. You can send both HTML and plain text versions in the same email and nearly all clients will correctly extract the right one. AFAIK phpmailer supports doing this but you'll have to check their documentation for details. -Stut -- http://stut.net/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] html emails and plain text dectection
I am using the code to send an html email (phpmailer class) now I need to
somehow determine if the recipient uses text only email and change email to
plain. Is this possible?

$mail_body = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
include("../mailer/class.phpmailer.php");
$mail = new PHPMailer();

$mail->From = "x.";
$mail->Sender = "x>";
$mail->Subject = $_POST['mail_subject'];
$mail_to = $_POST['mail_to'];
