TextStyleAdd in a Send Mail script

[adyf]

I'm having trouble getting the below text in a send mail script being shown as bold and italic. The relevant part of the calculation is below:

 

TextStyleAdd ("Please would you send me an updated ETDL Complementary Certificate (hard and electronic copy) for the candidate as follows:" & "¶¶" & "Issue Date:" & " " & Course::Course Start Date & "¶¶" & "Expiry Date:" & " " & Date ( Month (Course::Course Start Date) ; Day (Course::Course Start Date) ; Year (Course::Course Start Date) + 2); Bold + Italic)

 

I'm sure it's down to one of two things. Either the above calculation is incorrect or it could be that the email generated is in plain text format, even though my MS Outlook settings are set to compose messages in HTML format.

 

Could someone shed some light please?

TextStyleAdd only applies formatting to fields  - and it's not html formatting. To use formatting in an email (html formatting), you need to look at GetAsCSS - and apply styles.

 

there are some examples in this forum - do a search for GetAsCSS and you should find them.

 

hth,

FileMaker does not natively support HTML emails.  You will need a plugin to send formatted email.
