Mail templates in Tiger?
Is there any way to customize stationery or make a template in Tiger mail? As in colors, pics, to add in?
I see there is a new thing in iMail for Leopard, but wondering about something like that for Tiger. Thanks.
You did not ask this, so forgive me for answering whether this is a good idea or not. It is a terrible idea.
A friend sent me email the other day. He "signed his name" at the bottom with a GIF image of his handwritten name, "Joe." It, was, of course, an attachment. It showed up fine in email, but when I forwarded the message, I forwarded his PLAIN TEXT email plus this attachment with his name.
Someone else sends me an email with a fancy background image. I read it in a web email client that I have set to only show me the plaintext version. There is this large attachment with the fancy "stationery."
You have NO CONTROL over what the recipients email client can and cannot view. Sticking to plain text email means that you can communicate with the greatest number of people. If you must have fancy fonts, and colorful backgrounds, send it in a PDF.
Sorry for being on a soapbox for a minute.

Mail template missing send buttton on reply
Hello everyone, I just reinstalled Tiger on my mom's 17" G4. I applied all of the latest updates. Now my mail template seems to be missing a send button but only when I reply to mail. The only way to send is to choose MESSAGE > SEND. Is there a preferences file I can delete to have it rebuild? Any other suggestions?
Thanks,
NeobeFrom the reply window, control + click on an empty area on the toolbar and choose customize. From there you should be able to add the "Send" button to the toolbar.

Is there any way, to create with Adobe Muse HTML-Mail Templates?
Is there any way, to create with Adobe Muse HTML-Mail Templates? or to convert the createt page to only html content? any other tool like an website copyer?
tanks for help!Off the top of my head, you should be able to create mail templates in muse BUT it will require very basic html/css knowledge on your part. I am assuming you want to do just the signature?
Create the design you would like on one page, dont do any kind of styling in a master page. Then export the site into a folder. Open the html file with notepad/ textedit and then copy just the code for JUST the template. Throw it in you mail app of choice and it should work.
This seems like something that would be done alot quicker in dreamweaver in design view.
PLEASE NOTE: ^i could be completely wrong - but in theory this may work. -
Hi Experts,
I have a requirement , wherein I need to make certain word in my custom mail template( palin text) as bold or underline( or both) , I tried Mail template Macros FORMAT for this but it didnt work , If anyone knows how can we achieve this please share.
regards,
VIshal GoelHi Vishal,
Please try below format, so that it may work.
FORMAT("b", "Title:") %TOKEN1%
FORMAT("b", "Posted By:") %TOKEN2%
LINK("View Full Message", "%LINK123%")
The above mentioned will work only when HTML Mail option is selected on the user account level under Account properties.
Please let me know if the issue still exists.
Also Please go through the below link, it will be useful for you.

Mail Templates in multiple Languages
Hello,
We are in Sourcing 7.0 SP02.
We have a language pack for languages like German, Spanish installed in our system.
But the mail messages for the users logging in those languages are still sent in English. Only some content like the footer/header are in local language since they are localized resources and they have language specific content. But the main mail message is in English. To give you an example: The workflow approval request message thats sent to a Spanish user looks like below:
Subject: Solicitud: Approval: Category Project: 123
Estimado test,
This message is to inform you of an approval request for the following: Category Project, 123
Approval Request: Submitted
Start Date: 31/01/2012 16:20
Document Owner: test user 1
Instruction:
To view this document and complete the requested approval task, please click on the link: http://hostname:port/fsbuyer/projects/projects_header,-2147483148:1100?rqaction=load&allow_redirect=true&hook=projectUIRQHook
No responda este mensaje. Si tiene alguna consulta o dificultad al utilizar esta aplicación, póngase en contacto con el servicio al cliente llamando al %TECH_SUPPORT_PHONE% o por correo electrónico a %TECH_SUPPORT_EMAIL%.
if you notice - the header, footer and some part of the subject is in Spanish - but the remaining content is in English.
Are mail templates in multiple langguages not delivered when we install the language pack.
When I copied a standard mail template and checked it - the content was empty for the other languages that we have installed.
Are we expected to create our own mail content for the other lanuages that are installed in the system?
Regards,
SrivatsanHi,
you need to reinstall the language packs after the tenant configuration. That should to it.
Seems to be a bug (feature) in SAP Sourcing.

Passing context parameter as Subject to GP Mail template
Hi ,
I am using NW 7.0 SP14. I am using GP mail notifications to send out mails and I am successful sending context parameter values in the body of mail template. Is there any way I can change the mail subject line dynamically by passing context parameter to the mail template.
Thanks.
MadhanHi Madhan
Unfortunately, using the standard mail templates in GP, it is not possible to add context variables for the mail Subject. These can be only added to the mail content.
Best regards

HTML Editor for creating e-mail templates for SAP Cloud for Customer
Hi Techies,
Is there any preferred software for creating e-mail templates to use with SAP Cloud for Customers ? I mean to avoid unnecessary errors when creating standard e-mail template which are recognized unified manner within the system.
Will appreciate with rewards points for best support.Here is a template for the wire-frame that we used. We went with pure HTML tables so that the response could be multi-client compatible. We found that additional code caused issues with certain clients. In the middle table, we had linked icons to our respective self serve properties and additional support options for Chat and our own Support Community.
The content of the email will be placed where #Text# is. Our email responses include the content and the basic signature. We also provide our detailed legal disclaimer at the bottom with additional links if needed.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks!
Josh

Personalizing E-mail Templates in Guided Procedures
Dear All,
I need an E-mail template which will fetch me the context parameter value like defined in the the block of a Process through Guided Procedures as follows:
Context Parameter> Input Parameters (of type Structure)->Business Manager (String)
I need to get the value of "Business Manager" in the E-mail thats sent to all the context processsors.
I used "ctxt.personalData.lastName" where ctxt is the prefix of Context Parameters, personalData is the structure and lastName is the field to retrieve the value. But this is not working for me.
Please suggest the possible solution to this.
Regards,
Poornima.Hi Poornima,
Than you should check if this parameter is mapped. Send e-mail or Notification callable objects has own parameters and you should have such parameter for the callable object "personalData.lastName" which should be mapped to the context parameter of the action. When you define a due date or notification for an action you have a button "map" and also you should edit the Send e-mail or Notification callable objects so that they contains personalData.lastName parameter.

Sourcing 7.0: Email Link in Mail templates when implementing Single Sign on
Hello,
We are implementing Sourcing 7.0 SP02 On premise.
We are in the processing of setting up the single sign on with Enterprise Portal.
In E-Sourcing 5.1 - when we implement single sign on with portal - the mail links in the mail templates have to be replaced with the portal URL and also - in order to redirect the user from portal login to the correct object in E-Sourcing (contract/MA/RFX) - we had implemented a custom portal solution (par file) to redirect the user.
So when the user clicks on the link in the mail - it will take the user to Enterprise portal login. Once the login is done - user will be redirected to the E-Sourcing object like RFX/MA which the token %DOCUMENT_URL% contains.
I wanted to check if there is any standard solution to this issue in Sourcing 7.0 on pHi Vikram, Thanks a lot for your reply. I got a release note 1485253 that explains that this is resolved. Please find the text below
2011/0000612672
In user emails, %DOCUMENT_URL% token is used to generate the document
specific URL. This URL takes the user directly to the document. However,
when Sourcing is integrated with SAP Portal, using only this token will not
take the user to the document. In order to fix this, ENCODE function has
been introduced. Wrapping this around the URL, the URL can be encoded and
used as a "forcedURL" in the portal link.
Would you be able to explain to me how this can be achieved through configuration? I tried now with a portal user of Sourcing and the link was still showing up as the old link. Is this forcedURL generated using a system property?

How can I create an html mail template? I've read that Mail can't handle sending html without always going through Safari, but I'm hoping that has changed.
Basically, I just want to include by logo in my signature, so it' not complicated html.
Thanks for any help!Did you manage to solve this problem. I'm wanting to do exactly the same thing. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I want to add the current task link in e-mail template. I am able to retrieve the link by sy.workitemurl, but the link is coming as plain text and not a link/url. On using href- it does not seem to convert the sy.workitemurl into its value. Can anybody point me out the correct syntax for writing the same?
ThanksHi Swaralipi!
From my understading you could try specifying something like the following in the template:
<a href="`{ write(sy.workitemurl); `} ">My Link</a>
I tested this here and the the resulting email which was sent to me presented me a link which pointed to:
http://<host>:<port>/irj/portal?NavigationTarget=ROLES://portal_content/com.sap.pct/platform_add_ons/com.sap.caf.eu.gp.folders.gp/com.sap.caf.eu.gp.roles.runtime/com.sap.caf.eu.gp.worksets.runtime/com.sap.caf.eu.gp.pages.procinstance&DynamicParameter=processId=13a39&taskId=%7d
So I think that specifying this way, you'll reach your goal without facing the issue as you stated.
Hope this helps!
Best regards,
