Follow up email to report that this is not the case. I deleted it and it used the HTML confirmation template in the default theme.

I'll add an issue about this - but also a note of, "define what the actual correct behavior is", as even I'm guessing and (if I keep guessing), using the missing template from the default theme seems fairly reasonable.

It would be great if there was a per list option for whether we want to send text or html confirmation emails.

I can add a feature request about that too - but mostly it would be a big, "send text emails/send html emails" switch.

Since switching to html confirmation emails with the upgrade, more people are reporting bot-submitted confirmation emails as spam[...]With the text version they seemed to be less likely to think it was an intentional spam email.

Any data to back up this feeling with?

If the problem is "bots submitting forms", I'm not sure if the solution is, "change the type of email sent to the bot", as bots will still keep submitting forms - this is a BIG problem when using something like SES,where abuse reports/bounces count towards your rep.

Also a reminder if anyone wants to file issues/feature requests, use the issue tracker:

https://github.com/justingit/dada-mail/issues

Label it as "bug" bugs; "feature requests" for feature requests. Bugs don't get fixed, unless they're first reported!

(don't use the wiki for feature requests)

Cheers,

Justin

Since switching to html confirmation emails with the upgrade, more people are reporting bot-submitted confirmation emails as spam (I know I can use recaptcha but I want a streamlined subscription form and I don’t want Google’s recaptcha privacy notice covering a big part of the viewport on mobile, so until bot submissions are a bigger problem than those issues, I probably won’t turn it on). With the text version they seemed to be less likely to think it was an intentional spam email.

If I delete the .html emails in the theme for a specific
function, will it default to the text version or to the html
version in the default theme? (I want to disable html for
confirmation emails.)

Yes, I believe so,

Justin
