[RBASE-L] - Re: Email boddy

It works fine on my end.  With mapimail4, I suppose it could be your email client.  Try using mapimail2, which doesn't interface with your email client to see how it's formatted with that.  If it's fine there, then there could be some setting in your email client that's preventing it from displaying properly.

Hi Dawn

 

I have .vReturn and (Char(013))  on different lines to test see which one would start a new line.

 

The email looks like this

JOHN Public Your estimate balance is.. $11.00 Your last visit was on ... 11/09/2005 Last
personal payment on ... 02/21/2007 Amount of payment .... -$15.00

Instead of

JOHN Public

Your estimate balance is.. $11.00

Your last visit was on ... 11/09/2005

Last personal payment on ... 02/21/2007

Amount of payment .... -$15.00

Thanks

Marc

Marc,

 

You don't say specifically what's not working.  One thing I noticed is that after the fname and lname variables you have a (Char(013)) rather than a .vreturn.  Other than that, it looks like it does what you are asking it to do.

HI Jan

 

This code similar to what I found in a old email using

MapiMail4, that is why I started with it instead of RMail.

I did not have a whole lot of success formatting the email body until I went to R:Mail.

Not saying it's not possible. Just I couldn't figure out the issue.

I am testing my While loop code using MapiMail4,

Then I was going to switch to RMail.

Hi

 

I am having problems getting the body of the email to format

the way I want. 

 

This is my last try

SET VAR vReturn TEXT = ((CHAR(13))+(CHAR(10)))

  SET VAR vbody TEXT = +
  (.vfname & .vlname +(CHAR(013))+ +
  'Your estimate balance is..'& (CTXT(.vtotpt))  +.vReturn + .vReturn+ +
  'Your last visit was on ...'& (CTXT(.vdatelch)) + .vReturn + .vReturn + +
  'Last personal payment on ...'& (CTXT(.vdatelpay)) + .vReturn + +
  'Amount of payment ....'& (CTXT(.vamtperpd))  +(CHAR(013)) )

I want to have 5 lines

Name ...

Your estimate balance is ...

and so on.

 

What am I missing?

 

Thanks

Marc
