DNN Version: DotNetNuke Community Edition, Version 05.04.02

Enterpise Forms Version: 5.1.4

We have a form in which there are 2 fields (among other fields):

Comments - a Rich Text Box

Email To: a text box

Requirement: message entered in the comments section must be emailed to the mail ID's entered in the 'email to' text box.

Problem: email is sent, however the message sent contains HTML tags. Here is an example of an email sent by the application.

Hi Margret<br /> <br /> This is to advise you that the request has been put through, and will be completed in <em><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>2 business days</strong></span></em>.<br /> <br /> Thank You, <br /> <br /> David Chellappa

What must I do to ensure that format is preserved when the email is sent. These emails are meant to go to customers, so formatting is critical? Thank You, david

Have you tried using the CODE token to parse and replace <BR> tags with carriage returns

well, no. even if this works and fixes the linke breaks, what about the other formatting tags like <span> etc.

Let me enter some formatted content to see how this appears in my email notification.

If the the email notification I get for this post preserves the format, then that is teh solution I must apply in my application as well. I am keen to see how you are handling this.

Thanks, David

Which field type (normal text or HTMl richtext) is the content of the field come from? If it comes from rich text with HTML formatting, why do you need to remove it?

Thanks for the reply, and sorry about the time it has taken for me to respond.

Let me explain what I am doing in the form.

I have two fields in the form: copyToTextBox (a text box), and emailmessageTextBox (which is a rich text box). The property of the rich text box is:

Name: emailMessageTextBox.

Field Data Type: FreeText.

Default Mode: Rich

My requirement is:

content entered in the emailmessageTextBox must be emailed to the email id's entered in the copyToTextBox when user submits the form.

To achecive this, this is how i have configured the "Workflow Notification" of teh workflow,

1.Notify Owner: true (checked)

2.From Email: support@xyz.com

3.Email Format: HTML

4.Email Address: [FORM:copyToTextbox]

5.Email Subject: [TEMPLATE:NAME] Notification (ID:[FORM:ID])

6.Email Body: [FORM:emailmessageTextBox]

All I want is that, when email is sent, format of the content enterered in the emailmessageTextBox must preserved.

But this is NOT happening. The email notification sent out the teh emails ID's has HTML tags.

example of an email notification sent:

Hi Margret<br /> <br /> This is to advise you that the request has been put through, and will be completed in <em><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>2 business days</strong></span></em>.<br /> <br /> Thank You, <br /> <br /> David Chellappa

what must I do to ensure that the email is sent properly?

Please help.

Thanks, david

PS - By the way, the conent I enter here in the foum rich text editor to lodge this feedback is sent perfectly to me in the email notification. That is exactly what I want in my application too.
