Thanks for your reply here. This is exactly what we did. The problem is that non-HTML email readers are seeing the html markup. I'm wondering if there is a way around that. Is there a way to send them as Multiple/Alternative?

Create the template entry in the "AR System Email Templates" form. You can use the attached blank template or create an html template with the following content: <HEAD> </HEAD> <BODY> </BODY> 1. Attach the template to the "Header" section for the outgoing Email box configured in the "AR System Email Mailbox Configuration" form under the "Default Templates" section. 1. Restart the email engine. Refer to Remedy Email Engine guide for details. 2. On SYS:Notification Messages form, for the email templates which are to be configured as HTML emails, include the necessary HTML tags. For example: The non-HTML email body for one of the Schedule 12 email on SYS:Notification Messages form was as shown below: Rejection for Schedule 12 Co-Location Connection Date of Application: #ApplicationDate# Order Request Identifier: #Order_ID_New# Application Reference Number: #ApplicationReference# Queue Status: Rejected Rejection Reason: #Deadline# Requesting Licensee Information: RL Name: #LicenseeName# Designation: #LicenseeDesignation# Company Name: #LicenseeCompanyName# Contact Number: #LicenseeContactNumber# Fax Number: #LicenseeFaxNumber# Email: #LicenseeEmail# THIS IS SYSTEM GENERATED EMAIL.
