Show HTML Message Before Send..

Hi All,
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am losing sleep, my hair, my
sanity and any respect I had for groupwise... ; )
Ok, heres the deal... I am trying to send a HTML formatted EMail
programmatically using groupwise that the user will be able to edit
before it is sent...
I have tried several methods all without success...
1) I create the Email using Groupware Object Model, attach a file called
Text.htm. The file is correctly used as the HTML body but then if I
attempt to show the mail to the user with Groupwise tokens all of the
address fields (To, CC, BC) are reset???!!!
2) If I create the whole mail using Tokens there is no way to Set the
HTML body. If I attach the Text.Htm file then it is not treated as the
HTML body, it is just shown as a normal attachment!!!
3) If I use MAPI the TEXT.htm file is not treated as the HTML body and
there is no way to set the HTML text via the MAPI Api.
I just want to create a HTML formatted EMail from code... So far I have
had to use 3 different API's and I am still no further forward.
Thanks...

Hi David,
Thanks for your respone, don't worry on the spelling I am exactly the
same. Many times I have sent a post only to read it back wincing...
I notice that the 2 posts have re-appeared, bizarre.
With regard to your suggestion, can you elaborate?
In case 1, where I can get the HTML attached to the mail whenever I use
Groupwise tokens to show the mail for editing it resets all of the address
fields. Even if I manually fill these in it looses the HTML attachment. If
I re-attach it using tokens it is treated just as a normal attachment (IE
is not used as the HTML body). So basically I am stuck at this point. Are
you suggesting that I write or use another HTML/EMail editor external to
Groupwise and then just use Groupwise to send the Email?
I must say that I would have thought that this was a pretty common
requirement. Has no one at Novell on anywhere else done this before using
Groupwise?
Thanks,
Dhugal.

Droid X, review lengthy text message before sending?

When composing a long text message I find it very difficult to review the entire message before sending it. Is there a way to do this that is not obvious? I have tried scrolling line by line and I end up changing words unintentionally. Holding your finger over the text pops out a magnifying glass, but even that is not very useful.

Unfortunately there is not an option within the device to change to make viewing your text messages any easier. You will have to scroll through the message.
Hope this helps!

Edit a mail message before sending

How do I edit an email in Mail while spell-checking? Sounds simple, but my stupidity means I can't find out how to do it.
Here's my scenario: I write a message, hit send and it brings up the spellchecker. Then while doing the spellcheck, I realise that I want to add or alter something in the email. So I come out of the spellchecker, either by closing it or just clicking on the body of the message, and try to edit the email. But when I then click in to the text I want to change and hit a key, any key it seems. the email just sends - doesn't give an opportunity to make those changes.
This has to be something so obvious that I will cringe with embarrassment when I read the answer, but I hope someone will take pity on me and give me the answer!
Thanks to that person!
BTW, the thing is I only started using Mail a short while ago, having been a confirmed Thunderbird user...

Hi Lavakumar,
Based on my knowledge, getting an alert before sending messages can't be achieved by Exchange Server.
I would like to know what your purpose is. If you want to avoid users from sending wrong messages, recall feature can help them when they send wrong messages.
For more information about recall, here is a helpful thread for your reference.
Recall or replace an email message that you sent

Progress bar shows multiple messages when sending one.

When I send a single email in Mail, the progress bar will often show "Sending 2 of 2 messages". Is it bundling and holding messages or sending multiples? I'm not sending to multiple addresses, unless my own and the recipient counts as two. Any explanation?

are you using an IMAP account? if so it's probably just mail syncing your sent mailbox with the server.

Applet loading problem, it shows another message before the right message.

Hi Friends,
I have tried to make an applet which is showing the messages related to a user if the messages are present for any user.If the messages are not present for a user then the applet shows that " You Have no unreviewed messages." But due to some reason the applet is displaying the no message text before displaying the intended messages. Please help me out with this code.

Could you post your code?

Show Message Before Send?

Hi All,
I think this is my last question (At least I hope so)...
I am using the Groupwise objects to generate an EMail from my application
which works fine, however I would like to show the EMail to the user
before it is sent.
So I programmatically create the EMail then I would like to open the
EMail in the Groupwise interface, allow the user to edit it, and when
they are happy click send.
Can anyone advise me on how to do this please?
Thanks,
Dhugal.

No you'd have to keep using token api to fill it in (itemsettext and such)
There's no object connection between the two.

Microsoft Outlook truncates messagies before sending (Outlook Connector)

Using Outlook Connector, connectod to SUN messaging server, when new message or REPLY is composed, and SENT, outlook sends just a part of a message - last edited lines just disappears. receiver receives truncated message, and truncated message appears in SENT folder.
It seems to be "Autosave problem". That Outlook sends LAST DRAFT auto saved message version?
When Outlook autosave is set OFF, composing and sending works fine.
Problem appears on different workstations: Windows XP, Windows VISTA, Outlook 2003, Outlook 2007....
Does anybody knows solution for this? Or this is server configuration problem?

>
In future please provide the exact version of Outlook Connector that you are running.
Using Outlook Connector, connectod to SUN messaging server, when new message or REPLY is composed, and SENT, outlook sends just a part of a message - last edited lines just disappears. receiver receives truncated message, and truncated message appears in SENT folder.This sounds like a known issue that was fixed some time ago:
bug #6441043 - "after autosave and continue to edit text is lost".
Can you reproduce this problem with the latest version of Outlook Connector (OC7.3 - 139162-01) which can be downloaded via sunsolve.sun.com?

BPEL- To split XML message before sending

I get Orders -XML from ERP System , and I am sending this XML data to external system(using web services).
So, if one or more Orders fail to validate, then none of them get into Database.
Using a loop by sending each Order at a time is the best way?
Thanks
Edited by: user13374451 on Sep 14, 2010 2:45 PM

Oh yes we can achieve this. I did it in one of my processes. Probably this is what you can do.
1. Take a count variable and based on your required count the number of time you need to send the XML content. In my case, I was receiving many protocol informations in a single XML payload and I had to call the web service for each of these protocols. So say if i had 5 protocols in my XML, I need to break it into 5 and post it to the Web service 5 times.
2. Take a while loop and use increment counter.
3. break the XML code for each of your entry using incrememtn count variable like this /ns5:NewDataset/LotCountryReleaseMessage[bpws:getVariableData("IncrementCount")] and copy it to another variable (which is of same structure).
4. Increment count value.
5. Post it to ur target. This way, the web service is called for each of your entry.
Let me know if this was clear.
Thanks,
Gautham

Can I confirm sms before sending?

Got my watch last Friday. So far so good. One annoying thing is that when sending messages, I've had a lot of issues with voice and canned responses.
Im in Australia and voice dictation of messages often comes up with incorrect grammar. Ie your instead of you're, there instead of they're. As well as other incorrect worda recognised.
IS there a way to proof and accept messages before sending from watch?

You cannot change or alter the text, but it shows you the text and gives you a choice to send or to cancel and re-record.

Getting message after Send

Hi,
Is it possible using C3PO to intercept a message when it arrives in the
SentItems folder?
If not, is there a way to change some hidden property of the message
before sending it and create an external program that keeps polling the
SentItems for a message with that hidden property, process it and clears
the property?
Thanks,
John

John -
1. No - there is no sentitem trigger - a great weakness of the API -
the new SOAP stuff may change this, though 2. I don't recall if
changing custom fields is doable in the Token API with new messages
(messageid of "X00") - that's the place to look.

Sending UTF-8 + HTML messages.

Hi all,
I'm working on sending Turkish email to our customers, notify them that they need to activate their account before using our product. Email should contain a link that customers will click on, and it should be in Turkish. I store all messages in .properties file.
                MimeMessage message = new MimeMessage(session);
                message.setFrom(new InternetAddress(EMAIL_FROM));
                // compose body text
                String body += text from .properties file
                message.setText(body, "UTF-8");   //( 1)
                or
                message.setContent(body, "text/html"); // (2)I tried both (1) and (2) alternative, when I tried (1) all Turkish text could be rendered properly but it was not in HTML format at all.
When I tried (2), text couldn't rendered in UTF-8 form, but for HTML it worked well.
1)Am I able to use both of 2 these forms in email? or can just use one of them: UTF-8 or HTML.
2) Is there any way that I can set character encoding before sending message out?
Regards,

I got it fixed, simply put some more text into this:
message.setContent(body, "text/html; charset=utf-8");Thanks for reading.

How to send a warning message before closing soft via X of the title bar

With labview 8.2:
I would like to send a warning message before closing my soft when the user press the "X" of the title bar. Is it possible to do that without a Windows dll?
Thanks a lot,
Daniel.

Gerd,
I think a filter event for 'Panel close?' is more appropriate because you have the possibility to cancel the event or continue the event.
