I am creating an Arabic email withe right to left text alignment,
the html part is fine but I need to make a subject line to the mailer withe
part of the text in left to right English.
the problem is the subject line will not render any css or html code and,
will be outputted in plaint text.
so in some email agents the English text is on the right and on some agents it is on the
left side of the text.
my question is how can I create a subject line that include Arabic and English in one line
This probably isn't what you want to hear but I don't think this can be done. Like you said, the subject line is plain text and does not support any form of formatting (you can't make it bold or italic either for example).
The position of the subject is dependent on the email client and in most cases probably also the localization of the operating system. Formatting of the subject can basically only be done by modifying the settings of an e-mail client, which cannot be done by an e-mail itself.

I have to send an image by email that may not be rendered on the receiver side. Since this image is the sole purpose of the email, the alt text should be well and richly formatted in order to translate the features the image is displaying.
As far as I know there is no way to style alt text as if it were a set of nested html tags. I saw some examples of styling, but this were not sufficient, since they were styling the whole alt text.
Any workaround for this?
Maybe a little bit of JS would solve the issue but I guess I could have a similar issues with script tags not working.
First post here but i've been struggling with something for a while. I'm creating a form in Contact Form 7, and tweaking the Mail reply using the mail tags. I'm using several sections of checkbox items, but when they're relayed back via the email, the checked box text displays as follows:
red, green, yellow, blue etc
However, i'd like them to display as:
red
green
yello
blue
The checkboxes I want to include on my form are longer sentences so they just display as a big block of sentences rather than a list when sent in an email to the form host/person filling in the form.
I can't find a way to get into the mail tag [checkbox] to style that item in particular, despite being able to style the email generated in general (bold text, coloured text etc). I've tried several (probably quite amateur) things, but nothing is working.
This page on my site has an example of what i'm talking about: http://www.adgreen-apa.net/social-contact/send-us-your-thoughts
Any help appreciated!
Now I have problem with Superscript in Outlook 2007/2010. Has anyone have the magic coding to get register mark or number render font to normal. Currently when I send email from Campaign Monitor to Outlook 2007/2010 the register mark or number render font to small, Other email client render font look ok.
Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and
typesetting industry<sup style="font-size: 8px;line-height: 6px; vertical-align: top;">4</sup>.
I've found superscript to be very inconsistent across clients and avoid using it. Not so much because of the size itself, but because it messes up the line height within a paragraph of text.
Here are a few workarounds:
Use an image instead. You can use a linked image or go base64 and embed it.
Wrap it in a span or font tag with a class. Style that in the head so it doesn't affect Gmail.
Use an Outlook conditional statement to target Outlook '07/'10'13 specifically.
I have an html email I send out. It is formatted with tables because the original designer said, those were more reliable than divs for mail clients. All styles are inline:
<td style="font-size: 12px...">
When a single email is received, everything looks great. But as soon as a thread is formed by mac mail, "See more" is inserted.
This messes up the formatting completely, moving cells out of alignment. The See More message appears to be inserted properly - within a single cell, kind of
...
<td>
My Text
See More
My Text
</td>
But there are two of See More messages. One toward the top, one toward the bottom. Weird? The first one doesn't actually hide any text - but repeats it!
Hi Kate
See More
Hi Kate
is what it looks like. The second one does in fact hide text. Has anyone had experience with this problem? Are tables a mistake? Thanks for your help!
I am not sure if this is related, but in iOS on iPhone or iPad if someone chooses to use POP the full message will be truncated.
The work around is to have 1,019+ characters before your </head>.

This question was originally posted by esilver but he seemed to answer his own question, which then didn't make any sense. In his post he mentioned 'combing' of which I have found no reference to.
Here is what his question is and my slight amendment is at the bottom:
esilver's question:
"I'm trying to build a web app to programmatically fill out a PDF form. I am going to configure my form first in Adobe Acrobat, then write a Java app with iText to fill out all the form fields via user input from the web. The base form I need to fill out comes from the US government. They created form fields with extremely large kerning (character spacing) values I need to change. However, there appears to be no way to modify this value in the Acrobat UI.
Does anyone know how to manipulate character spacing on form fields in Acrobat 8.0 for Windows? I could try to use iText to programmatically manipulate the kerning of the original document, but this would be much more tedious.
Thanks!"
His answer:
"I believe I figured this out: kerning is called "combing" in acrobat, and each of the form fields have been "combed". The strange thing is this option isn't checked when I view the properties of the form field, but "combing" is the behaviour I was attempting to replicate."
My amendement:
I am using Acrobat Pro 9 to generate this form. Now my question is: Does anyone know how to manipulate character spacing on form fields in Acrobat Pro 9 for Windows?
It sounds like you're referring to comb fields, not kerning. Kerning is adjusting the spacing between characters so that letters like AV can be pushed closer together and still look good.
A comb field is a field where each letter has a specific visible box that it fits into. I believe it's named a comb field because the spacing resembles the teeth of a comb. Comb fields are common on government forms and are used to encourage you to print your answer.
Comb fields don't make a lot of sense for an electronic form, but sometimes the electronc form has to exactly match the print form for legal reasons.
Try loading the form in LiveCycle Designer, which comes with Acrobat. If it's an XFA form (vs an AcroForms form), then you'll be able to edit the kerning in Designer.
