We have a Groupanizer-based mailing list that goes to all Leads. When you post to the list, all line breaks are removed in the email that's sent out. Example input:
Gentlemen,
Blah, blah, blah.
List:
a
b
c
Signed,
Blah
Received in email:
Gentlemen, Blah, blah, blah. List: a b c Signed, Blah.
Ick.
Could you either fix the formatting in the email that's sent out, or include a link to the original post (like you do for comments on the original message), or better yet both?
If I "view source" on the email, it's the usual MIME with text/plain first, with the email as entered, with line breaks added and blank lines preserved.
After that is the text/html with no line breaks added and with the blank lines also preserved. Unfortunately blank lines don't mean anything in HTML and you really need to add some < br > tags (or something, I am not an HTML guy).
Hope this helps.
Edit: Note that if you comment an on entry, the notification with the comment is sent out correctly formatted! So Drupal can do this, somehow! :)

Strange - most people don't have this problem! Would it be possible to send a similar email to test@test.groupanizer.com so I can debug it?
Email sent.

Tom -- Did you get my email, and was it helpful?
Larry Clapp, President, Tampa Heralds of Harmony, BHS
Sorry for the delay there Larry. I see that the formatting was lost. The email came across as below. As you can see, it's got all the text in a text/html block, but there are no line break tags. In fact this was the same as the text/plain block just above it.
What email client did you use to send the original?
And I think you just forwarded it to test@test.groupanizer.com right? Rather than sending the same note again?

All,
I have organized the adjudicators and other lead section members into groups. If you're name falls below someone with a '+' next to their name then they are your lead section qualifier. All recordings will go to them. I pulled this list from Groupanizer so if there is someone missing, please let me know. If you have any other questions about how qualification works or anything related to qualifying please contact me or your respective qualifier.
Thanks,
Andrew

That's the problem, I didn't send an initial email. Our section lead entered it on our Groupanizer website using the web-based mailing list; Groupanizer sent out the email. See http://heraldsofharmony.groupanizer.com/node/2861 .

I'm not sure what you mean by that question, sorry.

OK thinking this through. If people use CKEditor to compose the mail, it will be HTML and all will be well. If CKEditor is turned off for some reason, it will be plain text and that will cause all the linebreaks to disappear.
So when you create a mailinglist email, is there an editor?
Tom
Not that I'm aware of. How could I tell?

There is no editor, no. I went to permissions and tried to enable the ckeditor and it didn't come up. I may've done it wrong, or not done enough, I dunno, but in any case, there's no editor.
Larry Clapp, President, Tampa Heralds of Harmony, BHS
Tom; I'm getting the same result as Larry when I paste items into the details box in Gevents and in Repertoire. These can be from PDFs or DOC files, they all come out unformatted. I have dummied one up for you to see but can't find the button to attach it here.
I'll send this and see if I can find the attachment button on a reply page.
John Breckenridge, Bass First Capital Chorus, Soundscape,
Hey guys - you can tell there's an editor when the buttons appear over the text box. If there are no buttons, it's just a plain text entry box and formatting will be stripped.
Right now the system *should* be configured to have the CKEditor only on node body forms. If yours doesn't appear to be that way, here's what to do:
Let me know how that goes!
Tom
Tom -- that worked for me, sort of. I went to the page you mentioned and it told me I had no roles allowed to see CKEditor. *facepalm* I enabled "authenticated user" and tried a sample email post and CKEditor came right up. Thanks for your help!
Larry Clapp, President, Tampa Heralds of Harmony, BHS
*Pout* I tried sending a sample email using CKEditor and got the following error:
Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required './sites/all/modules/messaging/messaging_phpmailer/PHPMailer/class.phpmailer.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/tom/public_html/gsing_prod/sites/all/modules/gsing/mailinglist/mailinglist.module on line 570
Any clues?
Disabling CKEditor again until this is resolved.
Larry Clapp, President, Tampa Heralds of Harmony, BHS
Sorry Larry - that's not related to CKEditor. I updated one particular module today and made a mistake, wiping out the plugin that had been installed in the previous version. So for an hour or so people were getting errors like that while I cleaned up.

Thanks, Tom. The error went away and I sent a test email and the formatting came through correctly in the email. Yay!
