[Plugin: Ninja Forms Lite] XLS problem and Email formatting question

    Great plugin! Making forms is easy and CSS customization is great, too. Am having two issues though.

    1 – The XLS file created and downloaded seems to have some strange characters delimiting the fields, i.e. Excel for Mac 2011 and Pages don’t recognize the file type, and when I look at in TextWrangler I get inverted question marks. Would it be simpler to have it export to tab-separated values that could be imported into anything, rather than a proprietary Windows Excel format?

    2 – While the reply email displays properly when I view it through the Ninja Forms plugin pages, when I receive the email all the paragraphs run together in plain text. I prefer to send emails in plain text when possible, and I know you can pass a carriage return to email, so I’m wondering if that can be fixed.

    Thanks in advance!

    Hey, I’ll take a look at it in the next few days and see if I can figure out the errors. It may be Monday or so, however, because we are putting the finishing touches on a new plugin this weekend. The email should be sent in HTML format, so if it doesn’t, that’s probably a bug. In the next version I’ll throw in an option to select plain text or HTML. As for the xls issue, that may be something that we approach with another option allowing users to select from either the xls or csv format.

    Thank you very much for the report, I really do appreciate it!

    Following your suggestion, we added the option to select either plain text or HTML email into version 1.3.

    As to your first suggestion, I’m working on something that will give users the option of what file formats Ninja Forms outputs, but I don’t have a good idea of an eta for it.

    Thanks for helping Ninja Forms be the best forms plugin it can be!
