Issue with HTML tags visible in Outlook emails

Hi everyone, I'm having an issue with a website I'm working on.
On our site, we have a page that generates emails after certain events occur. These are sent to a forwarding address on our mail server, which is then sent to several users on our mail server. These users have their accounts set up in Outlook (one in 2007,
one in Mac 2011).
We're are having an issue where these emails are displaying in Outlook with all of the HTML tags in the email visible. One of the users spoke to Microsoft support, and they remoted in and went through their Outlook settings and were not able to find any issues
there.
This issue is not global exactly. When one of the users added their email to their iPhone, the email displayed correctly. We added a Gmail account and my work account (which I also access through Outlook) to the forwarding list, and it displayed correctly in
both. When we view these emails in the server's webmail client, the emails display fine. The issue seems to be with some discrepancy between Outlook and our email server.
I spoke to our webhost about the issue, and they swore up and down the issue had nothing to do with them, and that it had to be an Outlook issue. I've had several professional web developers analyze the code that creates these emails, and they found nothing
wrong with it. Something that several of my colleagues and our webhost suggested is that the issue could be with the email headers. This is the header for the email, as viewed through Outlook:

Display issue with HTML formatted text in report builder

I am using the FCKeditor in my application to allow endusers
the ability to create formated text on reports. We curently are
experiencing 2 issues: 1. If you copy and paste from MS Word
2003/2007 it will not display the text correclty in the report; 2.
If you use the FCKeditor toolbar to insert bullets or a numeric
list it will not align the text correctly on the report. We are
using Coldfusion 8 with Hotfix 1 and Coldfusion Report Builder's
lastest build release.
Has one experiences this same issue with HTML fields not
printing correctly using the Report Builder? What other HTML
editors besides FCKeditor might we use?
Thanks,
Dan VanWieren

Hi Gavin,
If I understand well, your HTML tags are coded directly in your fields in the database, right? Because if it was not the case, you could have use a format trigger checking for which destination you're generating your report...
if UPPER(:DESFORMAT) = 'HTML' or
UPPER(:DESFORMAT) = 'HTMLCSS'
then
-- insert your HTML code in the value
-- of your field. something like...
newValue := '' | | :YOUR_FIELD | | '
srw.set_field_char( 0, newValue );
else
-- when generating to other format,
-- you'd have to add the formatting as
-- you want.
end if
return( true );
Of course, if it's not acceptable to remove the HTML tag from your database fields, you could develop a procedure that would translate your HTML tags to the good formatting (eurk... ;-)
Good luck... :-)

Since I've installed Mountain Lion, I am having lock up issues with multiple programs. MS Outlook has crashed and I've lost all my folders. HELP?

Since I've installed Mountain Lion, I am having lock up issues with multiple programs. MS Outlook has crashed and I've lost all my folders. HELP?

okay I've finally been able to get tor and all the other programs to work according to my plan the only thing that's still making problems is that iptables doesn't work as I want it to, when I start chromium without proxy settings privoxy doesn't seem to forward the information to polipo.. do I need to add another rule to iptables.rules in order for the program to know it has to reroute the information again or how can I get this to work? and is there any way to run rtorrent with proxy support?
anyway, problem 2 and 3 are still to be solved.
and does anybody know where i can get a good dansguardian blacklist that was not designed for 6 year old children and for which I don't need to subscribe? I'm still getting these partypoker popups -.-
//e: with iptables it's the same thing as described in the first post. https works, http doesnt. I get the output "Invalid header received from client." on http sites. still no idea why though.. (and the https-version of torcheck.xenubite says i'm tor unprotected while starting the browser with iptables)

My new iPhone 5 email is synched with my home office computer Outlook email using a POP account, but deleting an email on my computer does not delete the email on my phone and vice versa. Is there any way to get a true synch?.

POP does not support synchronization between the server and clients. You will need to use IMAP or Exchange Active Sync if your email provider supports it.

Text in internal table with HTML tags.

Hi ,
I have Text in internal table with HTML tags.
The text has to be shown in output of smartform as formatted text.
That is the smartform should READ the HTML TAGS , convert the text accordingly and show in the output as formatted text.
I dont want to make a webform . This is for NORMAL SPOOL output and NOT for WEB OUTPUT.
IN SHORT
:- the text in the internal table is like this ( please ignore the dot in the HTML TAG )--
<html><.U>this is heading</.U>Line with no break<.br>some content text</.br>
</html>
OUTPUT
this is headingLine with no break some content text
1) Can I can get the output and store it as text in a string variable and show in the smartform ?
In this case I want to know how to convert and store in a variable in sap .
OR
2) Can the text element convert the text with HTML TAGS to html formatted output and show it ?

but I would like to have the xml like below
<title>This Is an Example of a Red Subject</title>
Can you please suggest me whats the best way to acheive this.
I appreciate all your help
Thank you

One problem is that you don't understand escaping. If you re-read what you posted you'll see that what you say you get, and what you say you want, are identical. That's because you didn't escape one of the two properly. So your first step should be to find the section about escaping in Chapter 1 of your XML book and read it carefully. Figure out what you should have done here (yes, the same rules apply).
However, to attempt to answer what I think your question is: if you have a String which contains markup, and you want to convert that String to XML elements, then you have to feed the String into an XML parser.

Sending an email with html tags in it using apex_mail.send

Hello,
I am using APEX_MAIL.SEND to send emails from my apex applications.
now I need the email body to have html features: bold, underline, colors etc.
If I use regular html tags, they show up in the email.
How can this be done?
Thanks

TFS 2012 - WI Query in TFS Web Access - History field contents appear with html tags presented as text

When History field is selected as a column to be displayed in a WI query result, its contents are displayed with the HTML tags as if they where text, e.g. contents ...
This occurs when query is run in web access contents in IE and when result is sent via email from within TFS (there's a button for this purpose).
However, in Visual Studio 2012 the same History Column contents are shown without the tags, as one would expect.
Furthermore, when one clicks on Open In Microsoft Office, for this query results in VS, and selects result in Excel, the History column in the Excel appears empty.
The only way we found to bypass this issue for now, it to mark all the query result lines in VS, and right click for "print selected list..." to a virtual PDF printer. This way the result looks reasonably ok when History field is included.
Kindly advise, Thank u very much.

Hi Moital,
Thanks for your post.
As far as I know history content will display with the HTML tags if there’s multiple lines in content, and History content not support show in Excel, that’s by design in TFS Server.
As Clementino said, you can submit this scenario in connect site, Microsoft engineers will evaluate them seriously.

2 Formatting issues with HTML forms

I have a couple of issues that we can't seem to get past with adobe livecycle designer 7.0. We have an internal form, rendered in HTML, that is emailed between departments, and the data entered is stored in an XML file that is created using the code similar to the following:
protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response) throws
ServletException, IOException
oOutput = response.getOutputStream();
try {
FormServerWithXML fsb = new FormServerWithXML();
fsb.processForm(request);
File file = File.createTempFile("Form_", ".tmp", new
File("d:\\xmlFiles"));
BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(file));
out.write(fsb.getXMLString());
out.close();
When we use a numeric field and try to format it with any display pattern containing dollar signs, decimals, etc... the xml data for that field isn't being written to the xml file. All of the other fields are being written properly.
The next issue we're having is that with HTML forms, when we create a multiline text field we are unable to limit the number of characters that are allowed in the field.
I'm pretty new with this, so please send some advice my way if you have any.
Thanks,
Chad

How can I share a Keynote show with a large audience using Outlook email?

I am working with a corporate client with a global employee audience of 7,000. They use Outlook as their email platform. Can I create an animated Keynote show and embed it into an Outlook email? So that the user opens the email note, and is either immediately presented with the animated show, or would click a play button to start the animated Keynote? Do I have to house the Keynote show on YouTube, or some other server?
There is no sound, only animation, and the entire show is approximately 75 seconds in length.
Thank you for any direction.

Note that any kind of file containing a slide show with multiple photos is going to be quite large, most likely, and thus is not really appropriate for e-mail. Many servers won't accept attachments beyond a certain size, many people operate with strict mailbox size limits, and so your message may never arrive at its destination. I'd encourage you to do something else. For example, I think you can create a movie file - possibly using iMovie, I'm not sure though. Do that and upload it to YouTube, then send people an e-mail invitation to view it. If desired, YouTube allows you to set it to be viewable only to those who are invited and not to the general public.

How to use Microsoft Word's Find and Replace with HTML tags?

Hello to all!
I'm trying to figure out how to use the find and replace function in Word to replace html tags. I'd like to be able to change something like this:
random text
To something like this:
random text
I want to replace the open and close tags without changing or interfering with the text between the tags. I'm pretty sure I should use wildcards, but I can't figure out how to use them properly.
Anyone able to lend a hand?

Here is my latest regular expression with Perl. I think it matches the spirit of the request in the original post.
Note, this isn't as easy as you think. You need to code up the complete set of html rules in you implementation. You need to allow for a certain amount of mal-formed html.

Since I updated Firefox (around 3/8/11) I have had issues with logging in to my Comcast email. Comcast says that it is a software incompatibility, perhaps Firefox.

I received an automated download of a new FF version around March 8. I immediately began having issues with my email accounts on Comcast.net using my desktop (Windows 7). I do not have these issues with my laptop (FF 3.6.3, 4/29/10). Comcast spent almost 2 hours with me on several sessions, and demostrated that I can reach the email account through a work around, but not directly. They said that this was a software issue with some software package interfering with my login. Comcast reps could enter my email with no issues, so it has to be at my end. I removed a recent version of Adobe Flashplayer which had autoloaded around the same time as FF; when I tried to reload Flashplayer today, it told me that it was incompatible with FF.

HTML tags visible in downloaded Excel report

Hi,
I have an Interactive Report, that uses a CASE statement with span tags to conditionally colour a date column. Unfortunately when users download the report to Excel or PDF, the span tags are displayed in the report. Is there an easy way to avoid/workaround this?
Thanks,
Mike
Edited by: Mike, UK on Mar 1, 2011 11:40 AM

Don't worry - my old firm stuck with Apex 1.6!
The SQL for the report is:
SELECT EMPNO, ENAME, HIREDATE,
CASE WHEN EXTRACT(YEAR FROM HIREDATE) >= 2009 THEN 'hilite' ELSE 'lolite' END CLASSNAME
FROM EMPYou need to use both "hilite" and "lolite" as every value will get a class attribute
All of the columns are set to "Standard Report Column" except for CLASSNAME which is set to "Hidden"
The HIREDATE column has the following settings:
Link text: #HIREDATE#
Link attributes: class="#CLASSNAME#"
Target: page in this application
Page: 241 (ie, the current page)
Though you can play about with the final two settings, if you like
The page attribute's HTML Header setting:
<style type="text/css">
.hilite {background-color:red!important; color:yellow!important;}
.lolite {color:black!important;}
.hilite:link, hilite:visited, hilite:hover, hilite:active {background-color:red!important; color:yellow!important; text-decoration:none!important;}
.lolite:link, lolite:visited, lolite:hover, lolite:active {text-decoration:none!important; color:black!important;}
#CLASSNAME {display:none;}
td[headers="CLASSNAME"] {display:none;}
</style>This just creates the highlighting by styling a link for each HIREDATE value. The STYLE tag settings, just make sure that the link doesn't look like a link.
I'm sure that there's plenty that could be done to make it a bit neater, but that should give you ideas!

XML with HTML Tags... (easy points) 11g question

Dear Programming Gods,
I have been researching this for about 2 weeks now, and I have hit the final road block.
Using BI Publisher 11.1.1
In APEX 4.0 I have a Rich Text Field. The data from the Rich Text Field is store in CLOB. The data has HTML formatting tags. I have a data model that selects the data. I create an xml which has the html tags. I export the xml and import it into MS Word using the BI Publisher add-in. I import my subtemplate which handles almost all of the formatting tags. I apply the template to the CLOB field so that the HTML formatting tags will be rendered when printed.
The problem is this. The subtemplate is looking for this < and / > however BI publisher convters the tags stored in the CLOB from raw html tags to this &.lt; and &.gt; so the subtemplate can not match to it.
Here is what I need to figure out and please explain it in very novice terms.
When I generate and export the XML from BI Publisher how do I prevent it from converting my raw tags?
Here is some further assistance when prepairing your answer.
My subtemplate is based on the htmlmarkup.xsl from the following blog but has been modified heavily to include support for simple tables, more formatting such as subscripts and superscripts, ect...
http://blogs.oracle.com/xmlpublisher/2007/01/formatting_html_with_templates.html
I am also familliar with this blog but I do not understand how to implement it using BI 11g.
http://blogs.oracle.com/xmlpublisher/2009/08/raw_data.html
I have tried adding this to my layout but it doesnt seem to work.
<xsl: element name="R_CLOB" dataType="xdo:xml" value="R_CLOB" / >
Please, help me. I have to have this working in 4 days.
