Do you have your outgoing email configuration set to delete messages?
I have an escalation that deletes my messages. I keep them for a period
of time for troubleshooting purposes. The escalation runs nightly and
delets any that are more than 2 days old.
I believe when I add a custom header to Organization I do so with a
leading return
(so Organization is empty)
i.e.
Organization:
customheader1: abcde
customheader2: fghij

Subject: Re: Appending headers to outgoing email messages
Hi Carey and Fred,
Thanks for the replies and suggestions. After experimenting for a day, I
have found the following:
- It is not possible to pass a multi-line character value to any
of the email header fields using the Notify action.
- It is possible to send multi-line character values to headers
fields by pushing directly to the "AR System Email Messages"
form. This almost works.
When I push values directly to the form, a couple of other problems have
popped up:
- The email messages created by a Push action do not get deleted after
they are sent, but they do get deleted automatically when the message
is created by using a Notify action. I suspect that I am missing some
critical value when pushing, but I have not been able to identify the
missing field yet.
- My goal is to add two custom headers to the outgoing email message:
X-Sender: Prog=arserver - Group=TEST - Type=Ownership
X-Mailer: Prog=arserver - Group=TEST - Type=Ownership
As suggested, the content is dynamic such that workgroup will change.
When I append these headers to the "Organization:" header, they DO
make it through to the Email Messages form and they DO make it into
the actual email that gets delivered. That is good! However, on my
console, if I start the ARServer manually, I see the following error
message each time a record is pushed to the Email Messages form:
sh: X-Mailer:: not found
So obviously, something isn't quite right.
Anyway... sorry this is so long. I'll keep poking at it to see if I can
stumble upon a winning combination.
Thanks for your suggestions.
Larry
