    Download: <a href="[value]">[value]</a>
    [/each]

Requires PHP 5.3+ 
5.2 has been unsupported since 2011, there’s really no reason anybody should still be running 5.2, and if your hosting company is, you should tell them to upgrade immediately!

All emails are executed through WordPress Actions & Filters.  If there is a filter or action in one of the supported plugins you would like added to this plugin, please open a support ticket and let me know and I will add it (or if you know PHP you can with the filters/actions already in this plugin codebase).
