I ran into a similar issue.  What I ended up doing was creating a mostly
blank html template and using only the tag #$$AR Notification Text$$#.
I then copy and pasted the html code into the text for the notify field.
It doesn't look pretty in the notify but it took care of my problem.

 

Thanks,

Andrew Baxter

Yep, sure do.  As a matter of fact, I copied the entries exactly from
another system that works properly and it still is not working on this
server.  It just outright refuses to recognize that the email should be
encoded as HTML without me manually placing the content into the HTML
Body field.

        Mike,

         

        Just curious, do you have your template entries set to HTML?

         

         

        Thanks in advance for your help!

        ** 

        Hi everyone -

         

        I'm working with a 6.03 server and email engine to try to send a
certain email notification formatted as html (as I've done many times
before on other servers).  I've setup html header and footer templates
with attached images.  And specified those header and footer templates
in the approprate place on the filter that sends the notification.  In
addition, the message body contains content which includes html tags.

         

        When the message is sent, however, the content is only placed in
the Plain Text Body field on the AR System Email Messages form.  The
HTML Body field is left blank.   On the email client end, the html tags
are still interpreted properly but the formatting is a mess and the
embedded images do not display.

         

        On the AR System Email Messages form, if I create an identical
email record to be sent, but copy and paste the content out of the Plain
Text Body field of the original email and into the HTML Body field of
the new email, the formatting is fine and the embedded images display
properly when received.

         

        So my question is:  How do I force the email engine to send the
notification as html instead of plain text?  What does it look for that
would indicate that the message being sent should be formatted as html?
Every other server I've ever worked with in this regard has done so
without issue.

         

        Thanks in advance for any help you can provide,

        ~Mike
