Developers of Sympa

[David Verdin <address@concealed>]

We're planning to add this feature in the course of next year (we have a 
lot of things to do right now).
In the meantime, we should, relatively soon, ease the integration of an 
HTML WYSIWYG editor in Sympa, for some textareas. A lot of them exist 
(notably TinyMCE and FCKeditor for example) and we feel that this should 
be installed independently from Sympa. A short term solution could be to 
modify your templates directly to use one of these scripts.

As for your project, you should note that some CPAN modules can output 
multipart/alternative messages. See :
http://search.cpan.org/~bbc/Email-MIME-CreateHTML-1.026/lib/Email/MIME/CreateHTML.pm
http://search.cpan.org/~alian/MIME-Lite-HTML-1.22/HTML.pm
http://search.cpan.org/~markov/HTML-FromMail-0.11/lib/HTML/FromMail/Message.pod

For mail purppose, Sympa uses these modules:
MIME::Base64    >= 3.03
MIME::Charset  >= 0.04.1
MIME::EncWords  >= 0.040
MIME::Tools   >= 5.423
Mail::Internet   >= 1.51

So better using modules compatibles with them.

Web messages are generated in the wwsympa.fcgi script, in the sub 
do-send_mail() (which itself uses  mail::mail_file()). So this is 
probably the best place to create multipart/alternative files.
