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.
