HTML flaw when emailing batch invoices from QuickBooks

This may come off sounding like a QuickBooks question, but I believe the problem is more likely to do with Thunderbird.
I recently started using QuickBooks Pro 2015 (Desktop version) to prepare invoices for my small business. I plan to email batch invoices via Thunderbird in the near future, but I've been running into an annoying problem while testing the batch email feature.
Here's how it goes:
Thunderbird is running one email account from zoho.com using pop/smtp. QuickBooks is properly configured to use Thunderbird as a MAPI client (I believe I'm stating that correctly...?) From Quickbooks I'll use the Send Forms window to email two test messages to two other email addresses I own. (Both messages have attached .pdf invoices.) When I click SEND NOW, there's a confirmation dialog, and I click CONTINUE to send the messages. Thunderbird then pops up a warning message saying another program is attempting to send mail. (No problem.) I click OK, and a few seconds later both messages appear in my Sent folder. When I open them, all I see is my cover letter in plain text mixed with a mess of HTML code. And that exactly what comes through on recipient end as well. The .pdf file that's attached is fully intact though.
If I email each message by itself in QuickBooks, WITHOUT using the batch feature, then it goes through with no problem. The HTML formatting is correctly displayed for the recipient and myself. Was wondering if this is an issue that anyone else has run into when using Thunderbird for MAPI?
Any help you can give me would be very much appreciated! I've been working on this all day and no luck so far.

Hmmmm. So finally Intuit admits that batch emailing doesn't work in Thunderbird! The first paragraph even says outright that "Thunderbird is currently not supported for use with QuickBooks." Yet Thunderbird is listed as a compatible email client in the settings menu in QuickBooks 2015.
Based on my personal experience, I don't see any other compatibility issues with QuickBooks and Thunderbird except batch emailing.
Thanks for taking the time to check into this issue, Matt. Let us know if you find out anything more!

Unable to detect any parameter in html (webresource) when value is passed from onload method of form

Unable to detect any parameter in html (webresource) when value is passed from onload method of form
I am trying out some stuff. For which I created a simple Entity. In the form of the entity I have added a simple web resource (html). And for the onload of the form I am calling the following function
function HelpDeskActivityOnLoadhandler()
var customParameters = encodeURIComponent("first=First Value&second=Second Value&third=Third Value");
    Xrm.Utility.openWebResource("tsi_scriptzz",customParameters);
Here is the code for the tsi_scriptzz.html
<html>
<body>
  <script type="text/javascript">
    var vals = new Array();
    if (location.search != "") {
     vals = location.search.substr(1).split("&");
     for (var i in vals) {
      vals[i] = vals[i].replace(/\+/g, " ").split("=");
  </script>
</body>
</html>
MY PROBLEM IS -> location.search is always coming back with empty string. So, it not getting the parametrs I am passing from the load method of the form.
Could someone kindly help me.
Thanks,
Hasib

Hello, I tried it myself. I got a new_test.htm file and a new_test.js file. The loadWebResource function is called on the OnLoad event of an Entity.
function loadWebResource()
var params = encodeURIComponent('param1=value one&param2=value two&param3=value three');
Xrm.Utility.openWebResource('new_test.htm', params);
<html>
<head>
<title>Web Resource Parameter Example</title>

<script src="ClientGlobalContext.js.aspx" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
document.onreadystatechange = function () {
if (document.readyState == 'complete') {
var params = getParams();
for(var i=0; i<params.length; i++)
log(params[i].name + ' ' + params[i].value);
// this functions puts the params in a 'dictionary format'
// f.e params[0].name = param1 & params[0].value = 'value one'
// You could customize this function or find some on the internet to retrieve a param fe by name...
// This is just an example how to get the name and values
function getParams(){
var params = [];
var querystring = Xrm.Page.context.getQueryStringParameters().Data;
var querystringparts = querystring.split('&');
for(var i=0; i<querystringparts.length;i++)
var split = querystringparts[i].split('=');
params.push({
name: split[0],
value: split[1]
</script>

Hope it helps now. Kind Regards

When emailing a photo from the updated iPhoto, how do I find the CC and BCC button, and how do I send to a group from my address book?

when emailing a photo from the updated iPhoto, how do I find the CC and BCC button, and how do I send to a group from my address book?

The email function from iPhoto is pretty basic. The only Bcc available is to yourself (in iPhoto > Preferences > Advanced), cc: does not appear to be available at all, and it does not appear you can email to a group.
You can change this by going to iPhoto > Preferences > General and next to where it says Email photos using: select Mail. If you do this you have all the options available in Mail including Cc: and Bcc: and the ability to drag a group from Address Book into the mail addresses.
Best of luck.

When emailing a group from address book it opens individual emails....

When emailing a group from address book it opens individual emails for each name rather than one email with all email addresses listed. Have I set things up wrongly or is there something I can do to have a single email sent to multiple addressees via Address Book?

Hello,
When addressing an email for this group, are you
entering only the name of the Group as the address?
More info, please.
Ernie
Thanks for your reply.
Yes, it works directly in Mail - type in group name and all's well and lovely - but if I'm in Address Book and want to email a group it opens numerous emails. THere seems to be no way of opening Mail from Address Book and go straight to emailing a group.

My iPhone's screen is unresponsive when emailing a photo from the camera roll

Hello all, first time here, and I have an odd issue with my iPhone 5, running iOS 6.1.4
If I go to my camera roll and select a photo, then go and select "mail" from the options, it brings up the typical email message(I use gmail)
but if I go to tap the address section, it takes 5-6 taps to get the phone to bring up the keyboard to enter an address. The weirdest part is,
if I go into my email and start a message normally, it only takes the 1 tap to get the phone to bring up the keyboard for the address. I have
tried to reproduce this in other apps, and it appears to only happen when I email a photo from the camera roll.
Any ideas? Maybe a backup/restore? Thanks in advance.

Restored as new, did not restore from a backup. Set up my gmail account, took a test photo and tried to email it, and problem persists. Guess it must be a hardware thing, just so weird it only happens in the camera roll and not in regular email.
Thanks for the advice and help everyone!

Sending a default HTML page when email is blank

How can I send a default HTML contents if HTML portion is blank in the email using JSP?
I'm writing a JSP file where it emails To, from and with some HTML contents.

If you are sending the email, then you are defining the contents, so if you want to send a default value, you have to check that what you are sending as content is blank or not and make the substitution when you construct the mail message. Why would there need to be some automate thing for that?

When emailing a webpage from Safari using Mail, why is the page no longer rendered correctly?

This never used to happen
Previously (before Yosemite) when I was looking at a web page I wanted to share, I clicked on the email icon in Safari and a new Mail page opened with the web page I was looking at perfectly rendered. I added an address and emailed that page to the person I wanted to share with.
Currently, when I try to do the same thing, the mail message that gets copied over to Mail is a terrible, useless distortion of the original web page.
Anyone know what's going on here? Have you experienced this? Can I fix it?

Hi Wyodor,
Thanks for your reply.
I am sending the mail to a Gmail account, enabled displaying of HTML content. Even then the images don't show up.

When I print to Acrobat from Quickbooks, Acrobat adds heavy lines. Solutions??

When printing to file from Quickbooks to Acrobat, Acrobat has begun to add three heaviy lines. Always in the same location; like three sides of a box. Initially the application worked fine. But since this problem started it has been consistant. I have Windows 7. Thank you.

This forum is for printing from Acrobat, not to Acrobat which actually uses Acrobat Distiller. I will move your post to the appropriate forum.
The problem may be due to Acrobat/Distiller or it may be the output that Quickbooks is generating.

Adobe Reader isn't working to print from quickbooks!

Everything worked great yesterday, I printed several invoices with no problem but today I'm having all sorts of issues. I uninstalled Adobe and reinstalled it and still can't print from Quickbooks- there is no print bar or printer icon like there was yesterday and the print preview never appears, just keeps saying it's loading and that if I don't see it I need to install Adobe Reader which I've already done successfully. I don't know how to fix this and it's slowing down my biz. Please help!
I use Windows 7, IE9, if that helps.

Sorry for not being more clear.
When I click 'print' to print an invoice from quickbooks online, a window pops open and usually there is a printer icon on the top left of the page and a preview of what I'm printing loads in the window. The day I posted my original message, however, the window pops up, there is no printer icon, and the preview does not load and I get the following message:
If you don't see a preview inside this window you need to get Adobe Reader, it's free!
1. important, if a file download window opened, close it.
2. click here to download Adobe Reader
3.Follow download instructions
4. cancel this window and click print again.
I uninstalled all versions of Adobe reader and reinstalled the latest version successfully and I'm still getting this message. Thank you for your willingness to help as I really NEED to be able to print invoices for my customers.

TOA_DARA fields empty when Archiving SD invoices

Hi gurus,
We have a problem when archiving SD invoices. In some cases, when archiving, are ocurring errors that shows on SM58.
The error is always:
<<
ARCHIV_CREATE_TABLE            SAP_AL_OUT                       21.06.2011 18:22:23 SAP ArchiveLink: tipo objeto no asign.a ningún arc hivo (Customizing)
>>
And it's generated when saving the invoice from transaction VF01
We thought the problem could be that the object type was not maintained on the system but that's not the case, the problem is that the type is coming empty.
Watching inside the error, these fields are empty:
AR_OBJECT (should be SDINVOICE)
SAP_OBJECT (should be VBRK)
OBJECT_ID (should have the invoice number)
We were thinking about this TOA_DARA structure determination, but we could not see where it's been generating.
Do you know how is it possible that "sometimes" these fields go empty when processing sd invoices messages?
Thanks in advance

Hi Sudheer,
In my case, I saved the TOA_DARA params into an aux var just before calling the OPEN_FORM. Then, I checked the params before calling the function which archives.
clear toa_dara_aux.
toa_dara_aux = toa_dara.
CALL FUNCTION 'OPEN FORM'...
if toa_dara is initial.
     toa_dara = toa_dara_aux.
endif.
CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_OTF_AND_ARCHIVE'
     EXPORTING
          arc_p = arc_params
          arc_i = toa_dara
          format = 'PDF'
     TABLES
          otf = otf.
