Rich text email body not preserved when using LotusScript(Send), @Mailsend or @Mailsend()

This issue was raised a couple years back but yielded no solution or explanation:http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/nd8forum.nsf/DateAllThreadedWeb/386b26f52669394d852579f10064f925?OpenDocument

I’m expanding on the original question because the issue is broader than describes and affects versions 5, 6, 7 & 8.

To reproduce:

1.) Create an email with rich text formatting in body.

2.) Save as Draft

3.) Open email from Draft Folder

4.) Click Send

→ Email will be sent with rich text formatting preserved as expected.

BUT – use LotusScript(Send), @Mailsend or @Mailsend() to send the same document and the formatting is stripped from the email.

The same behavior occurs when re-sending an email from the sent folder (or anywhere else, for that matter). The Send Button will send the email with rich text preserved, while any of the other methods result in a plain-text email.


Our ultimate goal is to use an Agent to send (or resend) an email for a variety of reasons… and we have all the desired functionality EXCEPT the ability to send rich text in the body field.

Subject: “Store contents as HTML and MIME” checkbox in Body field property

I battled with Frantisec’s problem for far too long…

Turns out there’s this lonely little checkbox on the Control tab inside the Body field properties for the Memo document:

“Store contents as HTML and MIME” and it was unchecked.

Checked the box and all my troubles went away. My agents are now humming away, dutifully sending out rich text emails right on schedule, exactly as expected.

Don’t know if this would solve OP’s issue, but it worked wonders for me.
