@GreenPioneer : ping
@benbucksch - thanks for the ping
Check this out - https://github.com/guileen/node-sendmail/tree/feature/%2359_update
let me know if it still works for you
I decided to pull the deprecated package in because we made a conscious decision in 1.0.0 that we did not want to get into the game of formatting emails properly. Picking a package like mail composer allowed up to add a ton of extra functionality because it was all in the formatting. Now that is deprecated it leaves us with 3 options
- pull in the deprecated packages and maintain them ourselves
- remove it and find an alternative
- go back to the basic formatting we had before
Im leaning toward option one as you see in the branch above
@GreenPioneer Is there a reason why they are deprecated?
@pixelplanetdev you are spot on with that and its fine if you want to switch back to nodemailer
I have thoughts about going back to the old way we build mail before we brought on buildmail but i dont know if would add enough value to the package because its due for a rewrite anyway
