POSending Plain Text Emails
text
Body
copied!<p>I am trying to send plain text emails to a company who will be processing them for me. I am using the Swift Mailer library and as far as I can tell - I have no problems. But the company that I am sending the messages to says that they are coming into them with all of the data on a single line. When I send myself an email using this script it looks perfect - each piece of data is on a separate line.</p> <p>Here is the script I am using. It is very simple. </p> <pre><code><?php $to=""; $bcc=""; $subject = "Quote" ; $domain = $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']; //Message $message = "Domestic Quote Request\n"; $message .= "Full Name: $_POST[name]\n"; $message .= "Email: $_POST[email]\n"; $message .= "Phone: $_POST[phone]\n"; $message .= "Pickup Date: $_POST[shipdate]\n"; $message .= "Pickup City or Zip: $_POST[pickupzip]\n"; $message .= "Drop Off City or Zip: $_POST[dropoffzip]\n"; $message .= "Year: $_POST[vehicleyear]\n"; $message .= "Make: $_POST[vehiclemake]\n"; $message .= "Model: $_POST[vehiclemodel]\n"; $message .= "Carrier Type: $_POST[carriertype]\n"; $message .= "This Quote is from $domain"; require_once 'lib/swift_required.php'; // Create the Transport // Mail $transport = Swift_MailTransport::newInstance(); // Create the Mailer using your created Transport $mailer = Swift_Mailer::newInstance($transport); // Create the message $the_message = Swift_Message::newInstance() // Give the message a subject ->setSubject($subject) // Set the From address with an associative array ->setFrom($_POST['email']) // Set the To addresses with an associative array ->setTo(array($to)) ->setEncoder(Swift_Encoding::get8BitEncoding()) // Give it a body ->setBody($message, 'text/plain', 'us-ascii'); //Check is BCC Field is emtpy. if ( !empty($bcc) ) { //The BCC Field is not empty so set it. $the_message->setBcc(explode(',', $bcc)); } // Send the message $result = $mailer->send($the_message); } header("location:index.php?s=1"); ?> </code></pre> <p>Here is an example of what the company is saying they are receiving:</p> <pre><code>Domestic Quote Request Full Name: Test Email: someone@somewhere.com Phone: 555-555-5555 Pickup Date: 07/02/2012 Pickup City or Zip: 12938 Drop Off City or Zip: 23981 Year: 2009 Make: Audi Model: A4 Carrier Type: enclosed carrier This Quote is from awebsite.com </code></pre> <p>And this is what I receive when I email myself.</p> <pre><code>Domestic Quote Request Full Name: Test Email: someone@somewhere.com Phone: 555-555-5555 Pickup Date: 07/02/2012 Pickup City or Zip: 12938 Drop Off City or Zip: 23981 Year: 2009 Make: Audi Model: M4 Carrier Type: enclosed carrier This Quote is from awebsite.com </code></pre> <p>The company said that they believed that the lead was being sent as free text instead of plain text. Is there such a thing? I have never heard of free text. </p> <p>Thank you in advance for the help. </p>
