SendMail Sample Procedure Formats All Mail as Text

Metastorm

The information in this article applies to:

Product: Metastorm BPM
Version: 7.0 7.5

Issue

• Although the HTML radio button is selected as the message format on the Mail form, mail is sent as text.

Resolution

• The message format is hard-coded for text in the procedure. To enable the message format option, replace the zero (0) after %Body in the parameter list with %IsBodyHTML as follows:

  1. Open the SendMail procedure in the Process Designer and access the properties for the Send to SMTP Server button on the form.

  2. On the Do this tab, make the following change to the code in the When button pressed field:

     Existing (format hard-coded):
     %Results:=%ScriptEval(JScript.NET,,%Procedure.Name,%MapName,"Metastorm.Extensions.SendMail.Send", %Recipients, %CC, %BCC, %Sender, %Title, %Body,0, %Attachments,1, "localhost", 25)

     Change to:
     %Results:=%ScriptEval(JScript.NET,,%Procedure.Name,%MapName,"Metastorm.Extensions.SendMail.Send", %Recipients, %CC, %BCC, %Sender, %Title, %Body, %IsBodyHTML, %Attachments,1, "localhost", 25 )

  3. Change the code executed by Send to Pickup Folder to:
     %Results:=%ScriptEval(JScript.NET,,%Procedure.Name,%MapName,"Metastorm.Extensions.SendMail.Send", %Recipients, %CC, %BCC, %Sender, %Title, %Body, %IsBodyHTML, %Attachments,0, %PickupLocation ,1)
