    I've just recently used the bulk email / email all members feature for the first time and it seems there is a nasty bug in there.

    The email body is OK but for some reason it's also put in the email subject (yes, the whole email body!).

    Has anyone experienced this before? I am using aMember 3.0.9 and no, I am not going to upgrade.

    I think I can fix that bug myself but don't want to reinvent the wheel if it's already been fixed.

    Sorry, wish I could be more help. :-|

    It has been a while since I've used bulk mail, but when I did I do not recall the issue happening.

    It may be in the 3.0.9 version only although I tried email.php from 3.0.8 and the same problem happened. It's not easy to spot. The emails are delivered OK but the subject line equals the whole body part of the message.

    Most recipients will probably not notice because they see only a small part of it. But I think it will be marked as spam by some email providers because of it, and it doesn't look professional either.

    It seems to be a problem on the Smarty side. It appears on the email preview page so one can test it even without actually sending the emails.
