In the examples it only showed the ContentType of 7-bit text areas for doing attachmates. I didn't see anything for HTML
Does anyone have a simple HTML sample I could revview?
Thanks

I was able to from command line on a UNIX server send an HTML email to the Notes server using SMTP commands:
telnet SERVERNAME.DOMAIN.com 25
Trying...
Connected to SERVERNAME.DOMAIN.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 ***********************

250 +OK SMTP server Ready

.

I see that I need the MIME setting but not sure on to set it with the Plug-in or where in the XML message to put this infomation.
Any ideas on this?
Thanks

You could always send an email to the author of the Support Pack.
Or you could continue to wait around until someone else feels like solving your problem for you.
Or you could start trying things, and examining the results.

I have sent an email to the Support Pac author and hoping to here back.
Once I do I will post the results here for others to benefit from.

I am not waiting for someone to solve this I have just ask for help with this. I am and will continue to try things and look at the results. As well as read up on it.
If you don't have any answers for my question that is fine just say so.
Thanks

Hi,
Perhaps this might help. (Mostly taken from the support pack PDF):
1) Set your SendMail parameters as follows:
Under MIME heading,
| Quote: |
ContentTypeEncoding -> Base64
MIME -> select this checkbox
|
2) Within your ESQL, do the following
| Quote: |
CREATE LASTCHILD OF OutputRoot.XML.Message NAME 'EncodingBase64';
SET OutputRoot.BLOB.BLOB = CAST(InputRoot.XML.Message.Body AS BLOB ccsid 1208); -- NOTE: InputRoot.XML.Message.Body points to your HTML data. Change this accordingly.
SET OutputRoot.XML.Message.Body = 'This is the body of the email';
SET OutputRoot.XML.Message.EncodingBase64.(XMLAttribute)ContentType = 'text/html';
SET OutputRoot.XML.Message.EncodingBase64.(XMLAttribute)Name = 'Sample.html';
|
See if it works....in your email you should be able to see an HTML attachment with name 'sample.html';
Regards,
Prasad |

Sorry, my bad, did not realised that you want to see HTML document within the mail itself and not as an attachment. Please ignore my previous post.

The SupportPac comes with source code. Perhaps you can modify it to include the additional headers required.
Cheers,

Thanks for the post Prasad.
Eddie, so the Plug-in as is will not handle the headers for html:
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/html;charset=ISO-8859-1
I will look at the source. I was hoping to be able to use it as is.
Thanks for the info. |

I don't know, I haven't tried.
Look at the supplied samples, and try changing a few things.
Cheers,

Hi jrjoe,
Wonder how is it going with your problem?
I bumped into the same issue when using out-of-the-box EMail Connector. Any HTML code passed as a message body is ignored, unless you hardcode your text as a string. Otherwise connector seems to be trying to parse HTML as XML...
I gave it a shot and tried to use SendMailPlugin instead, and have got the same result as you. So, obviously this plugin is not a workaround I'm looking for. Unless you have good news 
Cheerio |

Have you tried using CDATA with your html?
<![CDATA[<html><body>
html tags \
</body></html>]]>
This may help you with the Email Connector issue, I am not to familiar with it.
As far as my issue may be getting close. I have been reading the RFC822 paper regarding the email headers.
I will post my results once I am done.
Good luck |

Tried this as well -- getting blank message, although empty tag <![CDATA[]]> does exist in the body when the source of the message is viewed.
I probably should try to transform HTML to String explicitly before constructing the message, but how, I'm not sure...
Good luck to you too. |

Hi jrjoe,
Looks like I resolved my problem with EMail Connector, and this might work for SendMailPlugin as well.
In my case the trick is in XSLTransform node, which I use before sending HTML body content to the EMail Connector. XSLT node uses specially crafted stylesheet which looks like:
| Code: |
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:fn="http://www.w3.org/2005/02/xpath-functions"
xmlns:xdt="http://www.w3.org/2005/02/xpath-datatypes">
<xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" indent="no"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<html>
<body>
<xsl:apply-templates select="." mode="html"/> </body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="text()" mode="htmlvalue">
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
<xsl:text><BR></xsl:text>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
|
MOST important here is this line:
| Code: |
<xsl:text><BR></xsl:text>
|
because it shows how HTML tags must be injected inside the message body.
In my case it was proven to be the only way to trick EMail Connector to pass HTML code in the body successfully.
HTH

Thanks for the update on that. I am able to successful send the HTML text in the body of the message but the "Content-Type" is always set to "text/plain" not "text/html" I have tried several ways to get this chance but it looks like the Plug-in it self doesn't allow the Content-Type to be changed, at least not where I can see. I am trying to contact the author one last time and last resource I may need to change the source to include the text/html.
On the Email Connector is there a way to change the Content-Type?
Thanks |

The mail7bit example has the following embedded in the XML: ContentType="text/plain"
Have you tried setting ContentType="text/html" to see if that works.
Cheers,
