MessageYou might try encapsulating the Summary value between [$$ and $$].  This 
is normally used for field values that span multiple lines in the e-mail, but 
it might also work to escape the > and < characters.  The Summary line would 
need to be formatted as follows in the incoming e-mail:

Summary !8! : [$$Modify FIXNDAOTHERCD7 program to Bybass ND-OTHER-CD-7 field > 
90 and change Field if < 4 to 0$$]

If you decide to try this, please let us know if it works!

HTH,

Thomas

  Subject: Incoming email that generates record needs escape character?


  ** 
  Hi all,
  I'm having a problem with some characters. We get emails from another system 
on our network that we dump to a working form then generate CHG requests. I ran 
into the problem today when the summary field had the < and > characters in it. 
Is there an escape character I can have the other system developer use to tell 
Remedy it's just field data and not a command variable? I had them remove the < 
and > and the request went through, so I know that's the problem.

  Here is the email that failed. Anything after the summary field was 
disregarded and an email was sent back saying that required fields were empty.
