Sure can, I got that to work. Thanks Racke!  BTW, I searched the
archives and didn't see any email_mime.tag?!?

I'm still having trouble getting the ship_notice to do what I want.  I
have tried putting this in the ship_notice file:
[perl arg=scratch]
        $Config->{NoSearch} = '';
        return '';
[/perl]
***found this ^ on the list (see I did search it first!)***
[loop prefix=user search="
		fi=userdb
		st=db
		sf=username
		se=[loop-data transactions username]
		ml=1000
		rf=email_copy
"]
[if value "[loop-data userdb email_copy]" eq 1]
Email...plain text...
[elsif value "[loop-data userdb email_copy]" eq 2]
Email ...html format....
[/elsif]
[/if]

Am I somewhere close?? Can anybody give me a little input? I just need
to evaluate the value of 'email_copy' in the appropriate userdb field so
that the email will choose between text or html.  What I have as shown
above yields NO error in the log, but no email either.
Thanks in advance!
