HTML in Body Email

What E-mail Automation are you using?

You can send e-mails in Navision using many components. Can you tell witch components you are using? It’s standard object to send e-mails in NAV 5?

I wasn't asking him/her to help me out. I was asking because different components allow/disallow HTML formating and require different properties to be called with different values that may not be obvious.

Hi everyone,

I want to send an email with a html file in the body.
I created the html file with a function of the report but I don't know what can I do to attach the html as a BODY email.

Thanks!!!

If I may suggest, you might want to look into using a PDF "printer" (PDFCreator is a good one) to convert your reports to PDF and attach to your emails. (So that the report being sent retains its format and doesn't get all misaligned and nasty looking.)

(PDFCreator Example shown by ara3n: http://www.mibuso.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=18331&highlight=)

So you're using CodeUnit: 397 (NAV<=4) or 400 (NAV5) ?

Use NAV5.0's "Microsoft Navision Mail.DLL" automation.

Just use code to read from the HTML file and place the input data into the body of the e-mail as well as setting...

[MnmdllVarName].HtmlFormatted := TRUE;

Hi Reinhard,

This is a very simple way of sending the HTML contents using Outlook. I have been breaking my head for more than a week to solve this. Thanks for the solution.

But, Still i face a problem. I have converted a report to html. I am trying to read the Html file and passing the Html code to
'objMail.HTMLBody'. But, i have no way of adding more than 1024 characters as i am not able to use BigText or Array or Instream. I dont find any way of adding more Html lines.

Is there any workaround for this? :-k

Thanks

I have recently done something similar using SMTP OCX.
It works with Outlook and Non-Outlook email clients as SMTP is a sort of standard.

You can use HTML in the message like use tables, bold italic etc.

The SMTP OCX is available from the download section in this forum.

If you need anything else, I will try and help.

Is their any posibility to attach the file in outlook object library mail item.

you have to have outlook to use this code.

I have used the same code but it does not send the HTML body into my Gmail account or other.

My CODE in Nav


// Automation Start
//Create application
IF ISCLEAR(objApp) THEN CREATE(objApp);

//Create mail item
objMail := objApp.CreateItem(0);

// set properties
objMail."To"('navuser1@gmail.com');
objMail.Subject('Important');

objMail.BodyFormat:=2;
objMail.HTMLBody :='<a href='+Text101+'>navuser1</a>';

//Uncomment for display email
objMail.Display();

//Send mail
objMail.Send();


// Automation End;
