Relative URL

Using WYSIWYG editor (tinyMCE), the urls refering to the local documents are cut into relative url. It is no problem on the web, but when sent as an email, these urls do not refer correctly to the web site. solution:

file: components/com_letterman/letterman.php, after line 620 add:

<base href=\"$mosConfig_live_site\">

file: administrator / components / com_letterman / admin.letterman.php, after line 451, add the same.

exclamation mark in emails

Problem: when use phpmail or sendmailfor letterman to deliver mails, The issue is that actually most of these add a ! in the message evan do this is not in the actual message that is written.

Check out: experts-exchange, it has something to do with sendmail.

file: components/com_letterman/letterman.php, around line 630, before or after the line

$html_message = str_replace( "../../..", $mosConfig_live_site, $html_message );

insert:

$html_message= wordwrap($html_message, 72);
