Actually I do have a question Wayne.

Have you had experience with creating dual format emails? I use mainly HTML emails, but want to create a dual format. Now I know that the plain text version goes into the custom header, with a custom header to set the mime type and quoted-printable but my header doesn't work properly - I receive the html version fine but the plain text version displays as well and isn't formatted correctly (all strung together).

I suspect it is the difference between Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" and Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" What should the Content-Type be set at. Do you have an example of a this?
cheers

Causes all sorts of confusion with deliveries. Ourimbah is the last in that
backway chain of Ernest, Gerard, McPherson, then Ourimbah before it hits
Spit Rd. Everybody uses it, no one knows it.

I was thinking to add it as an extension to my clients sites' admin
system/content management system

This one is completely automated. They have a number of admins that submit news, classifieds and announcements which form the web site content. Then
once a week a cron triggers generation of the email and sends it out. It
also archives it and adds a reference to a db.

Sounds good in theory anyway. However my thinking is that I would
probably have to add an additional component to stagger the emailouts
so as not to alert any over zealous ISP/SMTP server. Had any problems
sending 5000 emails at a time?

I'm the ISP so not really an issue. We have had to jump through a few hoops though to get it around various servers overzealous anti-spam filters. The main problem we had was the mail action overloading the mail server and it ignoring them. We solved it by creating text files in the correct format in
the 'incoming' folder. Works nicely.

Let me know if you need any pointers when you put it together.
