For example, what if you need to create an email body like this:
Text ...
Image ...
Text ...
Image ...
Text
Here is one of the examples that works for one text and one image:
var builder = new BodyBuilder ();
var pathImage = Path.Combine (Misc.GetPathOfExecutingAssembly (), "Image.png");
var image = builder.LinkedResources.Add (pathLogoFile);
image.ContentId = MimeUtils.GenerateMessageId ();
builder.HtmlBody = string.Format (#"<p>Hey!</p><img src=""cid:{0}"">", image.ContentId);
message.Body = builder.ToMessageBody ();
Can we do something like builder.HtmlBody += to just keep adding more and more texts and images?
The BodyBuilder class is designed to constructing typically message structures, not the type of thing you are doing.
You will need to construct your message manually, not using BodyBuilder.
After quite a bit of trial/error/testing, I discovered that you can indeed keep adding text and images to the HtmlBody object, as my question speculated, by using builder.HtmlBody +=
In response to the increasingly widespread use of TLS instead of SSL, and therefore the need to abandon the use of Microsoft's obsolete SmtpClient component, I have developed a comprehensive emailing test component, in Visual Basic, using the wonderful MailKit from JStedfast.
As my question suggested, I wanted to give my users the ability to compose a handsome email body using text interspersed with images as needed. If any VB developers would like to benefit from this work, just let me know.
#jstedfast - I just saw your answer after posting this. For my production version, I need to add images from a blob field in a SQLServer table. I intend to use the manual method, as you stated, to do that. But for images I was loading into my sample program, I was able to make a fairly complex email body using src=file for each image, and adding them with builder.HtmlBody +=
For a google spreadsheet it is easy to change the filename by using this script:
var file = SpreadsheetApp.openById(Idfile);
file.rename("new name");
Logical to me for change file name of a form:
var form = FormApp.openById(Idform);
form.rename("new name");
However this does not work!
Who knows the solution to change a filename of a google form by using apps script?
How about this method?
DriveApp.getFileById(id).setName("new name");
This method can also rename Spreadsheet.
Reference :
setName(name)
I want to open a new tab with a gloda conversation from inside calendar code.
I receive an error from error console:
window not defined (or document not defined), depending on which of the two I use to Access tabmail:
let tabmail = window.document.getElementById("tabmail");
let tabmail = document.getElementById("tabmail");
The code works fine if the js file is included in an overlay xul-file.
But I want to use it outside of xul in my code.
Somewhere in my calendar code (in my 'addevent'), the same code throws the error.
This code is originally called from a rightclick on an email, but several layers deep into calendar code.
In MDN, I read that window is global? So what do I Need to do to add an tab?
This part works if tabmail is properly referenced:
tabmail.openTab("glodaList", {
collection: queryCollection,
message: aCollection.items[0],
title: tabTitle,
background: false
});
So how do I get a reference for tabmail?
Any help is appreciated.
after trying and looking through code for really some time before posting, it took only ca. 20 minutes to accidentally find the solution after submitting the question..
While browsing mailutils on mxr for something else, I found the solution in some function:
mail3PaneWindow = Services.wm.getMostRecentWindow("mail:3pane");
if (mail3PaneWindow) var tabmail = mail3PaneWindow.document.getElementById("tabmail");
I'm using out-of-the-box Alfresco 4.2.f, without customizations, and i'm trying to set the email notification whether a new document in added in a certain folder.
So i've added a rule to the folder and i've set as Perform Action "Send email" using as template "notify_user_email_it.html.ftl".
If i insert a document, i don't receive the email and here is the error in the log:
Expression person is undefined on line 38, column 57 in workspace://SpacesStore/55088e2c-05ac-4264-8396-ee6f3c7021ad.
The problematic instruction:
----------
==> ${person.properties.firstName} [on line 38, column 55 in workspace://SpacesStore/55088e2c-05ac-4264-8396-ee6f3c7021ad]
----------
If i remove from the template the string ${person.properties.firstName} then the rule works properly but the mail i receive is not as expected, all the interesting informations are shown as in the original FTL. Attached the email received to understand better.
Really strange since i've not customized anything, maybe this is a BUG but i didn't find anything on JIRA...
Someone has the same behaviour? Possible work-arounds?
Thanks in advance!
According to this JIRA, it's not really a bug it just doesn't work for the admin user.
Have you tried it with a normal user?
--- Update ---
Maybe cause it's bug or an unimplemented feature something like the following to fix it in the template:
<#if person??>
.... set your person properties first & lastname
<#else>
.... is sure to be admin, so set the admin
</#if>
You have to pass the parameters to emails templates
you may try with this example
var template = "Data Dictionary/Email Templates/Workflow Notification/<<Your File>>.html.ftl";
var mail = actions.create("mail");
mail.parameters.to = "xyx#gmail.com";
mail.parameters.subject="Hello";
mail.parameters.text="blablabla";
mail.parameters.template = companyhome.childByNamePath(template);
var templateArgs = new Array();
templateArgs['workflowTitle'] = "789789";
templateArgs['workflowDescription'] = "879789";
templateArgs['workflowId'] = "879789";
var templateModel = new Array();
templateModel['args'] = templateArgs;
mail.parameters.template_model = templateModel;
mail.execute(bpm_package);
then you can get parameters using ${args.workflowTitle} in your Email template ftl file
Problem is Gmail automatically creates hyperlinks for all website URLs and email addresses. I do not want to create a link.
var mailClient = new SmtpClient();
var netMail = new MailMessage();
msg = "I do not want www.google.com as a link at recipient end. <br/>";
msg += "I want my email addrress myemail#myudomain.com as html without a link";
var cr = new NetworkCredential("########", "###########");
netMail.From = new MailAddress("#########m####.###", "######");
netMail.To.Add(new MailAddress("abc#xyz.com"));
netMail.Subject = "Test Mail";
netMail.IsBodyHtml = true;
netMail.Body = msg;
mailClient.Host = "xyz.com";
mailClient.Port = 25;
mailClient.EnableSsl = false;
mailClient.Credentials = cr;
mailClient.Send(netMail);
Any solution?
I had a same issue and found out if you use email like this;
<a rel="nofollow" style='text-decoration:none; color:#333'>test#mydomain.com</a>
email providers does not tend to follow email as a link.
Hope this helps.
There's no way to stop creating URLs, because its automatically checked by the email provider that whether the text is a valid URL.
Only way to overcome this is, deceiving the parser. Just put spaces, HTML tags, whatever in such a way that the parser can't identify like URL etc.
Here are a few code examples:
http:<span>//foolishedsiteparser.com</span>
_http://www.parsersmashed.com
noonesemail<x>#</x>linkdead.com>
And the result is the following:
http://foolishedsiteparser.com
_http://www.parsersmashed.com
noonesemail#linkdead.com
I was able to get around this issue just by adding <a style="color: #000000">link text</a> (notice there is no href).
I haven't tried using attributes besides style but I would imagine you could. The email system that I use (Blackbaud NetCommunity) will strip out a plain <a> tag, so I had to have at least one attribute.
Taking a cue from perilbrain's answer, I implemented the following regex that I use for this:
var unlink = function (val) {
return val.replace(/([#\.:])/g, '<span>$1</span>');
};
Note that this function replaces globally on whatever is passed in -- it would probably be too aggressive for blocks of natural text as in the OP's example, but often templates are parameterized and this works great when you can just pass it a url or email (I actually implemented it as a template helper function so that it does exactly that).
The function converts the following inputs:
john.doe#gmail.com
http://johndoe.com
into this:
john<span>.</span>doe<span>#</span>gmail<span>.</span>com
http<span>:</span>//johndoe<span>.</span>com
Note that I tried a fake short tag like <x> as shown in the accepted answer and found that GMail "intelligently" replaced it with <u> tags, which I assume is a feature, but was not desirable. In my testing, <span> tags prevent linking with no visual side-effects.
None of the solutions listed here seem to work any more. I experimented a little with the idea of non-printable Unicode characters and found this sequence to work:
<span>foo.bar.com</span>
Where is the ZERO WIDTH NON-JOINER character.
Nailed it!
This does not prevent emails from being turned into links, but it allows you to set the font color and remove the underline of that link.
It works in all email clients I tested in on litmus.com - including Outlook 2010, 2013, 2016 (also on Windows), Outlook.com, iPhone 6s, iPad, gmail web interface and Apple Mail 8, 9
Variation 1:
A link which does not react when clicked upon
bjorn#rosell.dk
Variation 2:
A mailto-link. Works in almost all clients. Outlook.com does however style it blue and with underline.
bjorn#rosell.dk
I have one unmentioned solution for textual emails: Use similar unicode characters. For example one dot leader (U+2024) instead of dot. Compare, how looks Běhej.com and Běhej․com (the first one is with regular dot).
I had a dot com in the title of my confirmation message.
Inspired by #perilbrain, I revolved my problem like this
domain.com => domain<span>.</span>
php
$titre = str_replace(".", "<span>.</span>", $titre);
simple !
For now simple wrapping by <span> is not working, I suggest replace # by its html-entity alternative
function disable_email_link($email) {
//encoder https://mothereff.in/html-entities
$email = str_replace('#', '#', $email);
$email = str_replace('.', '<span>.</span>', $email);
return $email;
}
Also if your email contains phone numbers you can escape it by disable_tel_link function:
function wrap_span_letters($string) {
$res = "";
$length = strlen($string);
for ($i = 0; $i < $length; $i++) {
$res .= "<span>$string[$i]</span>";
}
return $res;
}
function disable_tel_link($phone) {
return wrap_span_letters($phone);
}
Eventhough this is a old thread i want to help people who might get here. I found that adding a span inside the link makes google not see it as a link see below:
www.<span></span>link.dk
i had the same problem so after few mins found out how to fix it.
the thing is if you target the element directly it won't work because gmail will automatically add aa "a" tag in there so you have to go one step farther and declare a class for that "a" tag. in my case the email was in a "" tag which i found it easier to work with. so what i did was create a class like this:
.email_contact a {color:#ffffff!important; text-decoration: none!important;}
there is no "a" tag in my code but since gmail will add it automatically then you should catch it there. now you just have to use that class where ever you put your email add such as "span" or "div" and boom! fixed.
While not the ideal solution, it may be an option for some. As of 3/12/2020, If you disable Multipart and send plain text only emails, you'll get the following hyperlinked results. Results appear to be the same whether at the beginning of a new line/sentence or mid sentence.
Suppose your display url is "abcdUrl.com"
To prevent gmail from showing as a link, wrap it in an anchor tag
<a href="" style="text-decoration:none;color:#333;">
abcdUrl.com
</a>
This works well in gmail.
