HTML Email

rbuser

Using Report Builder Ent v11.07.

I currently create PDF reports and email them as an attachment to an
email message.

Is there a way to create a HTML email message?

Hi Richard,

This is not a built-in feature of ReportBuilder. The MAPI plugin does not
support HTML encoding in mail messages as it only uses the Simply MAPI
interface. There are however three options to try.

The EasyMapi plugin allows this as it uses the more advanced Extended MAPI.
This plugin requires a separate third-party library to function.

Though it is not currently, the Indy plugin can be configured to handle HTML
messages. Inside the TppSMTPIndy10.pas file you will notice there is a
field named FMessage. Setting the FMessage.ContentType := 'text/html';
should give you the effect you are after. This is currently not a public
property so you will need to alter the plugin to manipulate this property.
I will change this for the next release of ReportBuilder.

Finally, if you would like to try using the TppSMTPOutlook plugin, you will
notice some commented out code located in the AssignMessageToSMTP routine.
Un-commenting this should allow the use of HTML code in the message.
