Using NMS with custom template

Post by lleighh »

This is a re-post from the modules thread.  So if this is a dead-topic then tell me, guys, so I can stop waiting for a reply/fix. Thanks.

...

I've been trying to use NMS 1.01 (on CMSMS 'Maui') with a template I tweaked from OSWD. The code and css are included below. Here's a link to my site: http://www.llhargrove.com.

The template looks good in preview and the NMS message gets sent out without any errors but when I check the emails sent out they don't look like the template at all ... it's just a normal email ... no images or styling.

I've seen a lot of discussion on the board about NMS not playing nicely with templates but I just wanted to check one last time to see if anybody has a fix for it ... I'm really close to just using a third-party newsletter script.  (btw, any suggestions for a good newsletter script with bulk import?)
