-mailsub not capitalized?

[Turansky]

Hello,

When I assign a -mailsub to my e-mail being generated it keeps everything lowercase? Any solutions?

<input type="Hidden" name="-mailsub" value="Thank you">

Email Subject line spits out "thank you"

Thank you (or thank you)

Just to add to what I said before . . .

I tried the same process on another project and put everything in caps but everything was put in lowercase on the subject line.

What version Web Companion?

[Turansky]

Web Companion 5.5v3

Sounds like a bug then. Have you contacted FileMaker Inc?

[Turansky]

I will wait to see if anyone else can create this same problem. Could someone else try a quick e-mail test to see if you also get only lowercase letters in the subject line please.

Thank you

Kent

For what it's worth, -Mailsub is capitalising correctly for a FMP 4.0v3 system I have developed.

[Turansky]

I went back to another machine with Filemaker 4 and it has no problems either so I think you are right, it might be a bug.

I tried it with FM5.5v2 and it has the 'added feature' of converting to lowercase.

All the best.

Bummer

Thank you for checking Gary

Have a great day

FM probably changed that for geeks, which are typing everything in lowercase

lowercase is in uppercase out

Just a latent thought. What if you had a field which contained the text "Thank you." or "THANK YOU" or even "Thank YOU"? and for your value you cited that fmp field?

[Turansky]

Good thought. . . . I already tried it. Actually this is the way I had it set up and I thought that might be the problem so then I went back to just putting in some basic text and it didn't work that way either. You didn't get it working did you?

Thanks

No. I didn't try to get it working. It was just a thought. Again, like other things, make sure that the right db/layout is being accessed. But you might want to consider using STMPit from the sponsors of these forums. They claim (and users aver) to have a useful email solution. Sometimes (often) it is economically realistic to give up some cash for a workable (and time saving) solution instead of reinventing the wheel.

I've not tried an email solution other than that provided by html as a contact as in Attn webmaster etc. And that is not close to what you are attempting.
