TB sees my html attachment as a text document

I recently switched email programs from Outlook Express to Mozilla TB. In Outlook I would get a daily email report with an html attachment. I would double click the attachment and it would open in the web browser. Now, however, TB sees the attachment as a text document and will not open it in a browser.
If I save the attachment to my desktop and open it from there, it will open correctly in the browser.
Is there any way to change my settings to have the attachment be recognized as html and open in a browser?

The mail is probably generated by a script on a web site or router written by an ignorant programmer, quite probably using a script they copied from somewhere else because they know nothing of email.
If you look in your message source (ctrl+U) and check the encoding of the data and I am guessing your will not see.
Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8;
name="DocumentName.html"
I would expect something like application octet stream if it is as poorly put together as most script generated emails are.
You may find the add-on [https://nic-nac-project.org/~kaosmos/index-en.html#openattach Open attachments by extension] will work around the deficiencies in the mailers software. But ideally the generating software should be brought up to standard.

HTML tags in text-only e-mail notification (with HTML attachment)

Greetings,
Our "Purchase Order Review" e-mail notifications (as generated by the WF-Mailer) have HTML tags in the message body (which is "plain-text" text-only), with an HTML attachment. (The attachment looks good, and is what we are expecting.) All our e-mail notifications are text-only (which is how we want them), and this is the only kind of notification that is generating HTML tags in the 'text-only' message body.
We'd like to keep the HTML attachment as it is, but we want to have the e-mail message body be text (without any HTML tags). The other option that would be acceptable is to NOT have any message content at all, and only the HTML attachment.
Can either of these options be done, and how do we go about doing them?? Thanks!! -- Tom

in the notifications properties you will see two tabs, in one you can enter your message in text and in another you can enter in html. not sure if you had tried these.

You are getting your file attached correctly, but you still need to reference it within your HTML text so it will be displayed. You can do this with the cid (content-id) tag. Something like this should work:
<img src="cid:attach_1">
"attach_1" can be any name you specify when you attach the file to the message.
Hope this helps.

KNOWN ISSUE: HTML Messages with plain-text signatures

To get around the EAS security policy issue, I'm having non-sensitive emails from work forwarded to a GMail account from a redirect set up in our corporate OWA. The redirect seems to send the messages to GMail without any issues; formatting is 100% intact, and in the GMail web client as well as Thunderbird, Entourage, etc., HTML emails with plain-text signature attachments show the plain-text message inline with the rest of the formatted message. All of our internal mailing lists have these plain text attachments that say where the message was coming from (Message sent from [email protected] by listserv). These get affixed to every message, both plain text and HTML.
Here's my problem: The Pre's email client handles both plain text and HTML messages beautifully. But, when I receive a message from a mailing list with a plain text attachment, the HTML portion disappears, and all I see is the signature.
Is there any way to make the Pre show the HTML INSTEAD of the plain text? I can live without the sig, I know where the messages are coming from already. But if I can't read the message, it's useless. I've only begun researching this and so far Google hasn't been much help, nor has searching these or other forums. Any help would be appreciated.

I just got off the phone with Palm Support. Apparently this is a bug in the mail application. It currently does not support parsing both HTML and plain text in the same message. It will read EITHER plain text OR HTML, but not both at the same time. This will be fixed in a future update.

HTML tags in Dynamic Text

I am planning on building a website in flash with 90 percent
of the site in dynamic text. Will flash read the html tags in a
text file as text or html and code it as a browser would.

yes, Flash will accept HTML tags, and there are a couple of
different methods to make this work. But in my limited experience,
it's a little tricky, and both require a little extra Actionscript
to make them function. I read some info about this in some of the
tutorials, but I can't point to them at the moment.
First, one can use use the ' yourtext_txt.htmlText =
yoursource_txt; ' method to read a plain text line that contains
HTML tags. However there are some parameters that need to be set up
before it will function properly, and there are several optionals
to choose from, but it seems most importantly to set the HTML
property to true as in ' yourtext_txt.html = true; ' but there
still are several different things requried, especially if your
looking for dynamic on-the-fly changes to different sections of
text. here's a snipit I'd been working on that uses a similar
system with arrays:
did that work, huh? thought I was adding code.
Another method is to use a CSS or by defining your own
stylesheet tags within Flash Actionscript. This method seems to
work better when using LoadVars, where you would define the
ContentStyle. First you define the StyleSheet, then apply it to the
dynamic text area (I'll try this again), here's a snipit: (OK I
think i get it the code will attach to the end of this post, so I
post the second set in a following post)
These are just some examples though, from my own
experimentations, and of course onw would define thier own
variables. I'm no expert, but I hope this gets you going, just a
few ideas.

Html attachment issue

Hi all
I have a problem using mail on 10.4 The mail client is set to send messages in rich text format. If I send a mail to another user (windows based with outlook) without attachments the content is received in the body of the email with formatting as a html mail. However if I then attach something the text content of the mail is taken and put in a html attachment along with the other attached file. Is this something that can be altered?
I am presuming its something to do with mac mail sending in rtf rather than html but if anyone could help I would appreciate it.
Thanks
Nick

HT1277 Mac Mail previous conversation as HTML attachment

Receiver using Windows outlook will receive my mail of previous conversation as html attachment. How to change things to conversation format? Anyone can help>?

Change your Preferences > Composing option to Plain Text, and disable the "Use the same message format as the original message" option in that same window. If you want to always see mail in Plain Text, regardless of how the sender composed it, execute this command in Terminal:
defaults write com.apple.mail PreferPlainText -bool true
Then quit Terminal and restart Mail for the change to take effect.

How to send ALV list report as html attachment in a mail??

Hi all,
I have an ALV report which I want to send as an HTML attachment in a mail to an external id. I know that spool can be converted to HTML attachment in a mail. But I don't want to have 2 programs - one for generating ALV and the other to send mail with the spool-converted of the first report as attachment. I want to send the mail in the same program itself. Is it possible? Helpful answers will be suitably rewarded.

Hi Sandip,
In your ALV program after the alv output is build in the program do the following steps.
1). Export the list to memory
2). Import the list from mempry
3). Do a COmpress of the data
4). Send an email as an attachment using the normal FM.
Take a look at the following links which will explain how to do the above steps.

remember to change the doc type as 'HTM' in the FM to send email.

Russian Character is not displaying Correctly in HTML Attachment

Hi,
We are converting the TRIP Details into HTML Format and sending this as attachment by using the function module 'SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1'
It is working fine if the Content are in English, But if there is any Russian characters, Junk character is getting display while opening the HTML attachment in the Mail.
While debugging we have checked the HTML Content before sending it to the Function Module SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1, Which is coming correctly in Russian Character.
Kindly suggest is there is any specific setting need to added in HTML.
We are using the CHARSET UTF-8 in the HTML
Then same scenario we have tested in Spanish (ES), which is also displaying correctly.

How to convert a HTML files into a text file using Java

Hi guys...!
I was wondering if there is a way to convert a HTML file into a text file using java programing language. Likewise I would also like to know if there is a way to convert any type of file (excel, power point, and word) into text using java.
By the way, I really appreciated the help that you guys gave me on my previous topic on how to extract tests from a pdf file.
Thank you....

HTML files are already text files. What do you mean you want to convert them?
I think if you search the web, you can find things for converting those MS Office files to text (or extracting text from them, as I assume you mean).

Problem removing html tags from the text retrived

Hi there,
I am using jdbc to connect the database and retriving the data. In one of the columns along with the description there are some html tags in few of the recors of that column. is there a way to retrive the text only ignoring the html tags in between. Or can i retrive and then strip off the html code in the text to display only normal text.
example of the data retrived which are pipe seperated and one of the columns has html tags in it:
209|The euphoria |187945-2|http://www.abc/lst.jsp?mktgChannel=I86023&sku=18791-2&siteID=qpF0HYnRugA|http://www.abc.com/assets/images/product/medium/18793-2_198.jpg|Rooftop Singers: Walk Right In | abc Music proudly presents THE FOLK YEARS, an unforgettable era in music history! Featuring: 
<LI>The most complete collection of folk and folk-rock songs ever put together -- 132 classics!
<LI>Original hits by the original artists!
Now i need to remove the tags before displaying this on the output. Is there a simple way to do this.
Thanks...

Did you read the documentation of the trim() method,
where it describes which whitespace it removes?I believe his problem is that
"Some text here
<blah>
More text"becomes
"Some text here
More text"... and he wants ...
"Some text here
More text"So, your problem is that your regex isn't matching whitespace as well.
See the "Trimming Whitespace" section:

How to send dashboard html & attachment in a single i-bot

Hello friends,
I have two questions.
1.Is it possible to send the multiple reports in a single i-bot?
For example: I have two reports A & B. I want to send it in a single mail (i-Bot)
2.Is it possible to send the report as both HTML & attachment?
For example: I have a report A. I want to send it as both HTML & as an attachment in a single mail (i-Bot)
Your prompt reply will be greatly appreciated
Thanks & Regards,
Satya

i m not sure, but 1 ibot delivers either a report, or dashboard or brief book, or Condition analysis but not multiple. And only one format can be chosen per delivery.
just for an idea, Include the 2 reports in a new dashboard and deliver the new dashboard.
Regards,
Arjun.
