Trying to send a mail via backend send call - richtext field is not "translated"

Hi developers,

I’m trying to do some “email spamming” (no - just trying to send a personalized invitation):

Have a memo as template, and wrote a LS agent:

it copies the template for each addressee into a new memo document and personalize the body field like: "Dear Mr. X + NewLine + template body field.

When I save the new memos, they looked fine: “Dear Mr. X” + the correctly formatted original rtfield.

But when I send the memo with a backend command to the addressees, the format of the rtfield is terrible (in the addressees mail client).

When I do the same in frontend, like:

…

Call backendmailnote.Save(True,True)

Set frontendmaildoc = workspace.EditDocument(True,backendmailnote)

Call frontendmaildoc.Send

Call frontendmaildoc.Close(True)

the formatting is OK - but I have to answer every save-or-discard-prompt for the Close command.

So it looks as if Notes do sth. when sending a formatted rtfield, which do not happend when I use the backend command send.

Can I do it via “backend sending” - or can I suppress the closing prompt?

Thanks in advance for any help

I’m sending a weekly newletter by a scheduled LotusScript agent on the server and it formats the RT field very well.

Are you running this code on a server? I think (not sure) that you can’t do it form a client. This issue has been discussed before, search te forum…

There’s alsa a setting somewhere in the server docs about sending mail in HTML …

why shouldn’t it work from the client? I can send directly to the internet from the client with correct body field…

maybe someone get the reason when I post a bit of the “mistranslated” eMail:

there was an image in the original file, positioned in a table cell.

Subject: hmm. - now it’s really html format, but:

now all text in the default sans serif is tranfered to sans serif (via Bowser proportional?)
