Okay - trying the mods on the email. When you suggest taking the template language for sending an email from "core", what file are you referring to. Thanks.
==> I think I found the file (sp-post-support) - should I just copy the $msg section and work from that?

Here's the latest of where I stand:

1) Created a new theme

2) Put this in the functions.php, which works(!), except as noted below:

add_filter('sph_admin_email', 'my_admin_email', 10, 2);
function my_admin_email($content, $newpost) {

       $post_content = spdb_table(SFPOSTS, 'post_id='.$newpost['postid'], 'post_content');
       $post_content = sp_filter_email_content($post_content);

       $content = sp_text('TEST forum post on your site').': '.get_option('blogname'). $eol . $eol;
       $content .= sp_text('From') . ': '.$tab . $newpost['postername'].' ['.$newpost['posteremail'].']'.', '.sp_text('Poster IP').': '.$newpost['posterip']. $eol . $eol;
       $content .= sp_text('Group'). ':'.$tab . sp_filter_title_display($newpost['groupname']) . $eol;
       $content .= sp_text('Forum'). ':'.$tab . sp_filter_title_display($newpost['forumname']) . $eol;
       $content .= sp_text('Topic'). ':'.$tab . sp_filter_title_display($newpost['topicname']) . $eol;
       $content .= urldecode($newpost['url']) . $eol;
       $content .= sp_text('Post') . ':'.$eol . $post_content . $eol.$eol;

    return $content;
}

3) The above works - however: html coding does not come through (not too worried about this yet). More important, the email that comes through looks like the following - note: line breaks within the post are coming through, but the post information is not coming through with line breaks (I guess the .eol is what that's for, but it's not helping).

the code you copied did not include the setting of variable $eol... grab that from the start of the core routine and add it to your routine...

and our emails are not set for html content... caused too many problems with folks who were not allowing html emails - yes, significant number of folks still do that...

Okay - thanks.

How can I change the subject line of the email (or from, etc.)

P.S. The $eol fix was right on. However, now the email I get has two parts to it - the first part looks like the default template for the email, and the second part looks like the format I programmed. How do I turn off the first part?

The 'from' is set on forum admin > options >email panel.

I explained to you about the use of html email in post 6 of this thread.

If you now have both showing up then I assume you are concatenating your new content onto the original content being passed to your function. You might want to destroy the content being passed in to your function with a $content = ''; as the first statement.

Thanks - sorry I missed the link on html. Where is the wp_mail call happening for Simple:Press? Is there any easy way to change the Subject line?

add a new filter on the subject... use filter 'sph_email_subject'...

Thanks - shockingly, I think I figured out how to change the 'reply to' by using sph_email_replyto - I presume that's right? So I changed the reply-to to be the poster - however, that means if the admin posts, he doesn't get copied on the post (because I think his email app will see that he is the "reply-to" and thus thinks he's sending his email and it doesn't go into the in-box).

So how can I add a "bcc" to an email?

This is what I have - in the sp_functions of my theme

add_filter('sph_email_replyto', 'my_admin_replyto', 10, 2);
function my_admin_replyto($replyto, $newpost) {

       $replyto = $newpost['posteremail'];

    return $replyto;
}

add_filter('sph_email_subject', 'roy_email_subject', 10, 2);
function roy_email_subject($subject, $newpost) {

       $subject = $newpost['email_prefix'].sp_filter_title_display($newpost['topicname']);

    return $subject;
}

I thought it was working but not anymore - what am I doing wrong?
