Thanks Mahendra – that idea crossed our minds and we consider it the “nuclear option”. Something we’d rather not do unless we have to. I think we’d back off the HTML before doing this.

But if you want to set then create two types of messages in SYS:NOtification Messages form one in HTML coded and another plain text. Set filter tags for both and fire these tags in notification filters depending on people tags set on people form. In email messages form write a filter for plain text body to set in HTML body field when incoming message is HTML coded. This can be fired on condition in run if.

I've never verified how it looks, but I have also never received any complaints about the messages. The majority of our customers are viewing their e-mails with Outlook or another HTML capable client, however, so I doubt there are many people that would potentially be affected. Some of that may depend on the e-mail server being used. Exchange for example is capable of giving a plaintext version of an e-mail even if it was sent in HTML. I guess you would have to try it and see...

What I did was just use DIV tags in the notifications: <DIV> Message content </DIV> Then I could put any special formatting in the DIV or whatever is within the DIV. One catch that I found was that the e-mail engine (or something) was set on replacing all newlines in the message content with BR tags. So, something like <DIV> Message Content </DIV> Which in normal HTML would display on a single line gets translated to <DIV> Message<BR> Content </DIV> It's a bit annoying and keeps you from formatting your HTML the way you might normally like (it forces you to have less newlines in your HTML text so that the message looks right in the e-mail client), but was still workable.

This works great, except that the people with their email set up to receive in Plain Text format are seeing the html tags in their notifications. The email templates used under AR System Email Templates have the following in them: <HTML> <BODY> </BODY> </HTML> Has anyone tried to do this and if so, how did you accomplish your goal? _______________________________________________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org<http://www.arslist.org> attend wwrug12 www.wwrug12.com<http://www.wwrug12.com> ARSList: "Where the Answers Are" NOTICE: This email message is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.
