    Send mails with HTML code

    hi,

    I would like to know if it's possible that Zabbix sent a mail with HTML code in the subject.

    A subject like : "<Font Color=#ff0000> xxxxxx </font>"

    Regards

      html e-mail

      It's possible:
      I did it with a change in the file src/libs/zbxemail/email.c.

      "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=\"UTF-8\"\r\n"

      Change text/plain to text/html in that line, recompile zabbix code and it's done.

              I post new request to Zabbix Bug Tracker:

              Need one small but useful improvement.

              Looking for posibility of sending email messages in a "plain/html" format.

              Description: if a text email message begins with the tag <html>, this tag does not appear, but such a letter should be treated as html code. And in this message should be processed all occurrences of the html tags.

                      Hi,

                      If you don't want to patch Zabbix code, you can also use an external mailer.

                      I use a shell script that uses msmtp as media type.

                      This way you can easily format your mail the way you want within shell script.
                      As an added bonus, msmtp can use TLS and sender authentication (useful if you want to send alerts via a Gmail account).

                      Regards,
