Outlk 2k3 Script: HtmlMail

[news.microsoft.com]

Hi All,

I use a personal task form that create aHtml mail with some Task item
properties and add the task.body to the mail.body

All is working fine, but if the task body contain these caracter "<>"
all the text after is ignored in my mail body

I know that "<>" represent a break in HTML so how can resolve this Pb

Tks

Show the code you're using. Are you setting Body or HTMLBody?

You do know that the Body of task and other items is RTF and an email Body
is plain text? Are you massaging the data to account for that difference?

You must convert those characters to the proper HTML token, i.e. &lt; and &gt;. Use the Replace() function.

Hi Sue,

I put my task body in a string

strbb = item.body

then I put all this in HTML Mail BODY
StrHTML = "<hr>"& StrHTML & "<hr>" & "<p><pre><font size=2 face=Arial>" &
strbb & "</Font></pre></p>" & Signature & disclaimer

Again, you need to work on strbb -- using Replace() to work on the < and > characters and also using it to replace vbCrLf with <br><br> so that you can preserve line breaks.
