Redefine 'Content-type' email header in order to send using HTML snippets about kirby-uniform HOT 5 CLOSED

I think there is no way for this plugin to force a change of the header without using a new email service. A simple change of the default mail service would make this possible:

email::$services['html-mail'] = function($email) {
   $headers = array(
      'From: ' . $email->from,
      'Reply-To: ' . $email->replyTo,
      'Return-Path: ' . $email->replyTo,
      'Message-ID: <' . time() . '-' . $email->from . '>',
      'X-Mailer: PHP v' . phpversion(),
      // changed:
      'Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8',
      'Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit',
   );
   ini_set('sendmail_from', $email->from);
   $send = mail($email->to, str::utf8($email->subject), str::utf8($email->body), implode(PHP_EOL, $headers));
   ini_restore('sendmail_from');
   if(!$send) {
      throw new Error('The email could not be sent');
   }
};

The contact form plugin then would need a new option to set the email service manually.

@chrisbalt would you be happy with this solution? You could make this work right now if you added the above email service and called it mail, thus overwriting the default service.

@mzur I think you're right, it seems that either modifying the existing service–or adding a new service adopter–with the Content-Type properly set is the only way to go. Could instrument a somewhat-elegant solution if a new mail service could be defined outside of the Kirby toolkit. Could then detect some string (like "html") in the snippet filename, which would trigger use of the html-mail service. Until then, this works just fine.

Thanks for the response.

An option to choose a (custom) email service will be added in v1.3 (#11).

👍 @mzur You should add this to the plugin and/or to the README.md!

I think it's rather for the Toolkit to implement this and allow different content types with the mail service or provide a new html-mail service. Feel free to request this feature 😉
