Abbreviate long subject lines in email messages by following RFC 2919

The subject lines in email are ridiculously long due to the added forum
identification and other non-content. Especially if threads originate by
people like me who believe subjects should cover the actual content of
the message.
The smart way to add the forum identification information is to use the
standard way from RFC 2919: http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2919.txt
This allows you to embed additional information in email headers where
MUAs can act upon them, without cluttering up the screen for the human
reader. And you could even embed additional information such as a URL to
report abuse, to unsubscribe etc.

I apologize for responding in the wrong thread, but I am finding that I simply cannot take the time to process the current structure of the forums.
After deleting the almost 400 Premiere and Encore emails from about 2 days (almost all unread), I found today that the structure of the emails changed so that the content of the message is first (shows up nicely in Outlook reading pane), the link to the item is still convenient, and much of the unnecessary stuff is gone. A step in the right direction.
I'm sure the subject line is a bigger problem to fix, since it is being used to track, but I have still not found a way to avoid lots of separate groups. I just found (should have thought of it before), that if I don't group them at all, just list the messages and then sort by subject, I get a passable list. However, the unique code per item is not always in the correct (time) order.

Saving Outlook eMail to a hard drive folder with long subject lines

I'm using Outlook 2010 on a WIN7 machine. I drag and drop eMails to folders on my desktop quite often and in the past (earlier version
of Outlook) I would receive a warning that the file did not copy if the subject line was too long. When I drag and drop eMails with long subject lines now there is no visual warning or indication that the operation failed. I am aware of the file name/path
character count limitation. My issue is the lack of a warning when the operation fails requiring me to have to check the length of the subject line before the operation or double check if the file is present after the operation. Checking after the operation
is quite exacerbating when you are copying 15 - 20 files at a time. Is there a patch or something that can be done about this?

GW dropping spaces between words in long Subject Lines

It this a known issue with GWIA perhaps?
On our system (703HP3) at least I can produce the issue by typing a very
long subject line in the email. I sent a single message to my internal GW
account and to my internet alias. When I received the email to my internal
GW account the space was not removed but it was removed in the email sent to
my internet alias. In the message source the subject is correct. What seems
to be happening is that any word or text after the 60 character spot removes
that space between the word or text.
Has anyone seen this in their environment?
Thanks!
Lee

Thanks Jeff. We are actually experiencing it on the HP4 GWIA as well. If
it is a simple fix that can be added that would be great! If not I
understand and I will get the word out to our customers about it being a
known issue with GroupWise. Please let me know...
Thanks,
Lee

Change subject line of Email sent through "spool recipient functionality".

A batch job creates a spool, which is send through Email using spool recipient functionality. The subject line of the Email is as follows
"Job<job name>, Step <step no.>".
Is it possible to change the subject line of the Email?
Any pointers on this would be highly appreciated.

check the program name for job.
If the program is Custom program(starting with Z or Y) then you can easily change subject line of email.
If it is standard program then we have to look for alter path.

Auto complete in subject line of email in google no longer works. Gmail used to work with autocomplete subject line and no longer responds.

Somewhere in the updates of Google and Firefox the subject matter history does not remember the common subjects that I use everyday. The auto feature saved me typing the subject line every time I send repetitive messages and mail to different groups. No forums online seem to have an answer but many have the problem. I don't know if it is a Google issue or a browser issue.

Perform the suggestions mentioned in the following articles:
* [[Form autocomplete entries are not saved]]
* [[Form autocomplete]]
Check and tell if its working.

How do I change the default email-subject line when emailing from Acrobat 8...

Hi,
After creating a document in acrobat and clicking the email icon on the tool bar, Acrobat automatically opens and attaches the document to a new email message in Outlook. It also adds the file name as the subject, then appends "- Adobe Acrobat Professional". How do I remove and/or customize the default subject line appended by Acrobat Pro 8.12?
Thanks!

Hi, I have the same problem as Alan L. Whenever I have a file open in Acrobat 9 Pro Extended and click File-> Attach to Email it creates a new Outlook message and attaches the file but does not populate the subject line with the file name. The subject line is blank. I tried to email the same PDF file from Foxit Reader and it correctly populated the subject field with the file name.
If anyone can help me I would really appreciate it.
Thanks,
Michael

Import Text From Form Field into Subject Line of Email

Hello,
Is there a way to import text from a form field into the subject line of the email when sending back (attaching) the PDF form? In other words, there is an "applicant name" and I would like that name to be the subject line of the email.
I am using Adobe Acrobat X (10.1.7)
If any one has aby guidance or resources online where I can locate this information I would greatly appreciate it! I have been searching all day but have not found a solution yet.
Thanks!

Thank you so much for the help. For some reason I cannot get it to work though. Now, when I hit the submit button it does not do anything.
Previously, I had the following code under
ACTIONS>Mouse Up>Submit a Form
mailto:[email protected]?subject=Employee Application
I removed the above mailto URL and put in your code as a Javascript function. I made sure that my field name matched the name in quotes within the code.
I used the following:
var subject = getField("lastname").value
this.mailDoc({
bUI: false,
cTo: "[email protected]",
cSubject: subject,
cMsg: "Type message here"
Do you see anything obvious that I am doing wrong?
Many thanks!

Change subject line of email when submitting a form using Acrobat X Pro

I have created an interactive PDF in Acrobat X PRO with a submit a form button. Everything works fine all the way through distribution except that I need the Subject Line of the submitted form when attached to an email to read "Form Returned: File Name" rather than "Submitting Completed Form". All of my past forms had the "Form Returned: File Name" subject line automatically...did something change and is it possible to change the subject line? Any help would be much appreciated.

Thank you for your reply. I had actually come across that form on multiple occasions during my research. Looks like I need the doc.mailDoc() function, but there isn't an example of the code. Looking in other places I have tried a few things unsuccessfully. I did find this, which I thought would be even better than Form Returned: File Name in the subject line...actually taking information from fields in the form:
// Build the subject line text from several fields form fields
var subj_text = getField("text1").valueAsString;
subj_text += getField("text2").valueAsString;
subj_text += getField("text3").valueAsString;
// Send the email
mailDoc({
    cTo: "[email protected]",
    cSubject: subj_text,
    cMsg: "Body of email message goes here."
I entered the script(adding in my own information for the email, body and subject line) by adding an action to the button to run the java script but it did not work. Any ideas??

How to insert field from form into subject line of email

I have a form:
http://www.mcw.edu/FileLibrary/Groups/HMGC/Forms/HIPAAForms/HumanSequencingTertiaryAnalysi .pdf
and I would like to have the name of the person fill in automatically in the subject line. Right now when the email button is clicked the subject line reads: "Submitted Human Sequencing Tertiary Analysis Submission Form." Once the form is filled out, I would like the subject line to read: "[PI-Name] - Submitted Human Sequencing Tertiary Analysis Submission Form," (as highlighted below)
event.target.submitForm({cURL:"mailto:?subject=[PI-Name] - Submitted Human Sequencing Tertiary Analysis Submission Form&body=Please find attached the completed Human Sequencing Tertiary Analysis Submission Form.",cSubmitAs:"PDF",cCharset:"utf-8"});
I read the other discussion on this, but it didn't seem to pertain to me, or I just couldn't figure it out. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks, Anne

Subject line of email question

In a script the following is saving a file as Email Date then the date then the time.
Instead of having the "name" Email Date I would like the subject of the email there. What is the command to put the subject line there?
keystroke "Email Date " & short date string of (current date) & space & time string of (current date)

I don't know if a script such as the one you wish to get will ever work in Leopard. Many people have already noted that the mail rules don't work properly with AppleScript in Mac OS X 10.5. See for example http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1226817.
So I have written a more complete version of the script first proposed in http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9451103#9451103. Each time it is launched, the new script will search for all the messages of your "inbox" mail box which have not yet been put into the "Prints" folder on the desktop; it will then open and save them as PDF files into that folder. Moreover, the name given to each PDF file will correspond to the first 20 characters of the subject of the message, followed by the date and time at which the message was received. This script surely still needs to be improved and adapted to your own needs, but it works. Better than nothing…
property theMostRecentDate : (current date) - 5 * days -- an arbitrary starting point
tell application "Mail"
activate
set theList to messages of mailbox "INBOX" of account 1 whose date received > theMostRecentDate
repeat with theMessage in theList
open theMessage
set theSubject to subject of theMessage
set theDate to date received of theMessage
tell application "System Events"
tell application process "Mail"
keystroke "p" using command down
repeat until sheet 1 of window 1 exists
-- just wait
end repeat
click menu button "PDF" of sheet 1 of window 1
click menu item "Save as PDF…" of menu 1 of menu button "PDF" of sheet 1 of window 1
delay 1 -- 1 second should be enough
keystroke "d" using command down
if value of checkbox 1 of window 1 is 0 then click checkbox 1 of window 1
click radio button 2 of radio group 1 of group 2 of window 1
select item 1 of (rows of outline 1 of scroll area 2 of splitter group 1 of group 2 of window 1 whose value of static text 1 is "Prints")
keystroke "o" using command down
set L to the length of theSubject
if L > 20 then set L to 20
keystroke (text 1 through L of theSubject) & space & short date string of theDate & space & time string of theDate
keystroke return
delay 1
keystroke "w" using command down -- to close the message
end tell
end tell
if theDate > theMostRecentDate then set theMostRecentDate to theDate
end repeat
end tell

Customise Subject Line for Email Notifications?

I am using FormsCentral to receive Course Submissions.
Because Gmail groups all emails with identical Subjects & Senders, I need to be able to differentiate the Subject line of the Email Notifications, to include a unique field identifier (such as email address).
Is there a way of doing this? This would mean a vastly improved workflow for me, if the emails coming in are "unthreaded" because of Subject Line uniqueness!
Thanks, Peter

Wenlan...
please can we add this to the Feature Request List.
Every notification generated by the form arrives with an identical sender and Subject. Gmail reads them as part of one long thread, and there is no way to separate the items in a single thread without changing the default Email settings.
I need either the Submitter's name, or their email plus the date of form submission to appear in the Subject Line of the Notification. This would be a MASSIVE plus. The use of special shortcodes for such notifications is a feature offered by parallel industries, such as ZenDesk, where each support request can be configured to show custom info.
I hope you can prioritise this feature request.

Javascript to pull a PDF field into the Subject line of email?

I've created a fillable PDF form using Pro X. I'd like to program the Submit button so that once in the email portion, the subject line would automatically pull 3 specific fields from the PDF file.
Example: After hitting "Submit"....once in the email, I'd like the Date, Vendor Name, and PO # from the PDF form to automatically pull into the Subject line.
I have to PDF the complete document and go through the Desktop Email Application on my PC.
Thank you!

Hello Everyone,
I am having the same issue as tlg814 with needing three fields to pull into the subject, and I followed the blue print of the code as well, but I am only getting one field to populate in the subject line. I am using Acrobat XI. Here is my code:
Mouse up> Run a JavaScript
var parts = getField("SR#", "Urgency", "Ship To").value
this.mailDoc({
cTo: "[email protected]",
cCc: "[email protected]",
cSubject: parts,
cMsg: "Please create a Parts Request for the items in this email. Thanks"
Any thoughts as to why it is not pulling all three fields?
Thanks

Primary Key in subject line of email

I'm sending emails from my application and I want the Primary Key or the number that is being generated to be in the suject line of the email...
I have the following code, but nothing is showing up in the subject line besides TEST EMAIL- NEW PTA NOTIFICATION :
The P1091_PTA_ID is the primary key that I'm trying to send in the email and its not showing up in the body or the subject line...
DECLARE
l_body CLOB;
v_empl_email_addr varchar2(200);
v_empl_email_addr2 varchar2(200);
BEGIN
l_body := 'An PTA has been created. Please log into the database at http://dvlp01.bhti.com:7777/pls/htmldb to continue processing.'||utl_tcp.crlf||'Your PTA number is :'||to_char(:P1091_PTA_ID)
v_empl_email_addr := '[email protected]'||','||'[email protected]'||','||'[email protected]'||','||'[email protected]';
v_empl_email_addr2 := (:P1091_USER_ID);
htmldb_mail.send(
p_to => v_empl_email_addr,
p_from => v_empl_email_addr2,
p_body => l_body,
p_subj => 'TEST EMAIL - New PTA Notification -'||to_char(:P1091_PTA_ID));

Maybe try seomthing like this -
p_subj => 'TEST EMAIL - New PTA Notification -'||:P1091_PTA_ID||' created';
I changed the variable format, and added literals at the end, just for checking.
