Hi
We have a requirement of sending a welcome email once a confirmation is done (similar when we and done with creation of an account on some sites). The mail is a big mail with some specifications of font type and font size for specific fields.
also I have to fetch some data from DB and put it in there in the mail.
Please suggest some best methods with which I should proceed. |

Probably the same way you would proceed with any mail merge program. Do you have the codes needed to switch the font?

The logical message tree doesn't know anything about fonts, except as elements.
If you are building a MIME document, you need to be aware that the MIME parser uses BLOB structures for individual data in MIME parts.
There's nothing different about the contents of those parts in Broker than in any other MIME document. |

thanks for the reply
so you suggest to go with creation of MIME document and in that i can change the font size and type ?
I have not worked on MIME document so if you can suggest some link for the same it will be very helpful. |

The knowledge center has some documentation on working with the MIME domain.
MIME is a published internet standard with many relevant RFCs.
Broker doesn't know anything about the actual contents of an email message, other than the structure of it. Fonts and font sizes are all part of the contents of an email message. |

Set the content type as HTML. For example, in ESQL:
| Code: |
| SET = OutputLocalEnvironment.Destination.Email.BodyContentType = 'text/html'; |
and
| Code: |
SET OutputRoot.BLOB.BLOB = CAST('<PUT HERE YOUR HTML>' AS BLOB CCSID 1208);
|
(and all the other properties)
Be sure to escape the HTML special characters, for example > instead of >.
So.... then do all your staff in the HTML (fonts, etc.) |
