Subject & Message content in emails from XI

Question

All,
We need to send an email from the XI system. The message that we use is the following,
<target>
<name> John Doe</name><designation>manager</designation>
<name> Mary Jane</name><designation>supervisor</designation>
<name> Foo Bar</name><designation>customer associate</designation>
</target>
we need to send the email with the message body as follows,
John Doe, manager
Mary Jane, supervisor
Foo Bar, customer associate
How do we strip the xml nodes from the message? Also currently this email has a subject of "Employee New Hire Report". How can we add the current date also to this subject ("Employee New Hire Report 07/21/2007") ?
Thanks.

Answer 1

If you requirement was only the mail with flat fields (no xml), then you could simply use Content Conversion Module (http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/44/748d595dab6fb5e10000000a155369/frameset.htm) before your receiver mail adapter module.
But since you have the requirement for the date in the subject, you could try to use Mail Package (check this blog for a reference: /people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/03/07/mail-adapter-xi--how-to-implement-dynamic-mail-address).
With simple logics within your message mapping, you could have your subject with date and the content field as required (for line feeds in UDF, use "\n" character in the concatenated string).
