Ben,
That's perfect, and kind of what I'd said in one of my previous, although
not as succinctly or as well explained. Thanks for this as a way of
confirming an idea. (I tend to use {{table}} as my replacement strings. It
goes back to my coding back in the 80s/90s)
I've put the projects to one si
Hi Sean,
Not to wind you up with yet another 'helpful' suggestion... but here's what I
would do, if I've understood you correctly.
I think you're formatting a nice message in a field using LC styling; then
using the Mime Encoder feature to format it to include in an email. But when
you try t
Hehe. Full of ‘solutions’ :)
It’s because we need to see it as a table in an email :D
That’s the point of the question.
Here’s my full process if it helps you understand.
I (that is to say, a server I code and manage) process around 100-120 emails a
day from the mobile (cell phone) carriers O
Hi Sean,
Why don’t you just email them a spreadsheet or a .csv file,
let them open it. and they can copy and paste whatever they want
into their own spreadsheet?

Hi Rick
Because, as stated before, you can’t select the text and paste it into a
spreadsheet.
Thanks though.

Hi Sean,
If you just want to show the table in an email why not just send
an image of it? Create a screenshot of the table and email it.
Are you trying to send just one or a lot of them over a period of time?

Me too, Bob. Same sort of scenario. It should just deal with them.
It looks like I may end up with a mix of Mark’s and Rick’s suggestions. Maybe
just html that bit.

I just wanted a simple way of showing it without all the extra coding

I have this need as well. I send emails with completed tickets that have table
data. What I have done in the past is use fixed length data padded with spaces,
then I send the email in a monospaced font. Having the ability to send an email
as html formatted text would be great, but last time I at
Hi Sean,
So you want the receiver of your emailed table to be able to modify the data in
it.
I would make it an HTML email so you can allow the user to enter the data
directly into your server database table field.
That’s if I am understanding you correctly here.

Hi Rick,
It's not strictly what I was asking as I am talking about the mimeEncode

Hi Sean,
Could you try converting your table into a .pdf file so it displays properly?
Good luck!
