class BCS - email in HTML format

Former Member — Wed, 09 Mar 2011 07:50:54 GMT

Hi experts,

I am using the method 'send_mail' in the class 'cl_bbp_doc_send_bcs' to send mails to microsoft outlook.

In the outlook it is not showing the hypertext link say for eg. [test]

I set the code document class as 'HTM' for the email body the the hyperlink appears in SOST,however in the outlook it showed as plain text like <a href = 'mailto: test......

Kindly provide your solution to fix this issue asap.

thanks in advance.

Hi,

Have you checked the Outlook Options for email? Maybe you have it set as Text instead of HTML.

The microsoft outlook option is set as HTML only. The emails which are triggered by function module 'SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1' have proper hyperlink in outlook.

Hello

I am not sure if it is required to pass with html tag <a href>, i think a simple addition of "mailto:" should be enough. Also, make sure there's no space between strings "mailto:" and the email address. This will work if your mail is set to HTML/Rich text format.

I meant to say you do not need to use href tag, just "mailto:saptest.com" would be sufficient.
