Laravel Send Mail::send - can both html & text be sent?

https://laravel.com/docs/8.x/mail#configuring-the-view

Go down to Plain Text Emails

Hi

Thanks for that, for some reason my inherited code doesn't accept ->text so will do a bit more digging!

Will mark your answer as solved

Cheers Carl.

It goes in the mailable. Can you show it?

Hi

The actual bit of code that does the current emailing is:-

                    foreach ($email_addresses as $recipient_email_address) {
                        if (filter_var($recipient_email_address, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL)) {
                            Mail::send('emails.letter', compact('subject', 'agent', 'branch', 'document'), function ($message) use ($reply_to, $subject, $agent, $recipient_email_address, $all_attachments) {
                                $message->to($recipient_email_address);
                                $message->from(env('MAIL_FROM_ADDRESS'), $agent->AgencyName);
								$message->subject($subject);
								foreach ($all_attachments as $attachments) {
									$message->attach($attachments);
								}
                                if (filter_var($reply_to, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL)) {
                                    $message->replyTo($reply_to);
                                }
                            });
                        }
                    }

Ok create a mailable and use that instead :) It gives you alot more options for customizing your email

https://laravel.com/docs/8.x/mail#generating-mailables

Hi

Just to let you know, the variable that is being compated "document", is an array with various fields including the html version of the email in a variable called "letter". I created another array called "text" and did strip_tags($document['letter']) and now when the email is sent, a text version is also sent with it!

Pure luck that I tried this and that it worked!

Thanks for your help Carl.

Sounds good :)
