Sending text emails using CDML

[jbruno]

I'm having a few small problems sending text emails using cdml. The emails pull data out of a database. If the data has a ampersand or the symbol for inch-", those characters are actually displayed as " and $ in the final email text. Any ideas on how I can get around this?

Thanks,

Hi, j! It looks like a url-encoding problem. I haven't had that problem myself, but I don't use CDML mail much. In the body text file, maybe try specifiying a field format when you do the CDML tag...

[FMP-field:myfield, raw]

I think the CDML Reference DB has more info on encoding, but you can just look up the [FMP-field:fieldname] tag and see what it says... I forget.

Hope this help some, though...

Thanks so much Steve. You were exactly right. I added the raw encoding option and it worked perfectly.
