Search for the wp_mail function call. Just above the line that calls wp_mail is a line that sets the Content-type for the email being sent to text/html. You need to change it to text/plain. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/pure-text-notifications#post-24377 Thu, 28 Apr 2011 02:47:10 +0000 luminairefoto 24377@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Carl, can you explain where in the core files I would need to change this? My studio management software requires plain text emails. I'm kind of stuck right now, any help would be great. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/pure-text-notifications#post-10218 Wed, 22 Sep 2010 13:28:26 +0000 Zack Katz 10218@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>There is...you want the header for Content-Type to be "multipart/alternative", then separate the text from the html with a boundary.</p> <p>It's complicated.

To send them as plain text you would have to edit the core plugin files and change it there. We do plan on adding a hook so it can be changed via a hook in a future release. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/pure-text-notifications#post-10153 Tue, 21 Sep 2010 13:39:23 +0000 davidpg 10153@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>The email system that receives the notifications cannot display HTML emails, this is not a configurable option. Is it possible for gravity forms to send notifications in a text format and is it possible to format this output so that data in the forms is not randomly spaced and confusing?</p> <p>or alternatively adding the notification as a HTML attachment? </p>
