Use "text/html" content type instead of "multipart/alternative" #230
Comments
Briefly looked at the thread over there, and somebody described it as a regression? Could you pinpoint where/when the regression has happened? |
@Ocramius probably this is not a regression. osTicket just started to use LM in June 2022 (they had something totally another before), so some of the users just updated, and some - just installed osTicket from the scratch. I'm one of those who try to install osTicket, but I just worry that some of the clients will be unable to read e-mail. uvDesk (alternative to osTicket) uses SwiftMail and does not have such issue. My worry is about some clients won't be able to render non-text/html format in their [probably legacy] e-mail clients. I've read about such stories in the internet, for example here is a complaint about multipart/alternative format can not be rendered in Outlook 2010: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/31502596/php-mail-multipart-mixed-cut-off-outlook-2010. You know, the problem looks like not too important when some accounter on old PC can not get e-mail, but this is not such fun when this accounter is your accounter :) Now on the way to understanding how big is the problem... |
I would expect a reproducer here before acting then: everything else is just words until then :) |
I spent a couple of days working on this. It does turn out to be a bug in laminas\mail\transport\sendmail. Everything is documented in this osTicket bug: Let me know if you need more. |

Feature Request
Use "text/html" content type instead of "multipart/alternative" [in some cases].
Summary
Currently Laminos Mail sends all messages in "multipart/alternative" format that makes them not readable by some e-mail clients.
A quote from mail source:
But some products do not need to send mails with a complicated structure, they need just to send text or HTML messages.
Here is the issue description on osTicket forum (they use LM lib): https://forum.osticket.com/d/102563-ya-this-is-a-message-in-mime-format/18
It could be nice if LM uses "text/html" content type as all other SMTP clients do. Maybe not mandatory, but using some option.
