DirectMailer issue
|

| Hi there,
We have converted our Commerce Server 2000 to a Commerce Server 2002, and
everything works just fine. But we have encountered a problem concerning
Direct Mailer.
We produce mails in text as well as in HTML format. This worked fine on
Commerce Server 2000, but in our new environment, text and mime mails are
interpreted in a different way than before. This means that line feeds are
not interpreted and that links are formatted. In other words: it seems that
these mails are interpreted as HTML mails.
If I replace line feeds with <br>-tags then line feeds are present in the
text mail. Which suggests that the mail is interpreted in some way. But if I
look in the header of the mail it still says Content-type: text/plain.
Has anyone encountered this problem and is there a solution to it?
Sincerly,
Maria Jensen

| Hi again,
I found this in the documentation for Commerce Server 2002:
Direct Mailer supplies a command line interface that you use to create, run,
monitor, and delete Direct Mailer jobs, as well as perform job startup and
recovery tasks. To configure properties on Direct Mailer, you use Commerce
Server Manager.
Direct Mailer performs the following tasks:
a.. Sends e-mail messages to recipients.
b.. Manages recurring e-mail messages as Direct Mailer jobs.
c.. Prepares non-personalized message bodies from a flat text file.
d.. Generates personalized messages from an ASP page.
e.. Formats e-mail message headers.
f.. Sets the codepage value (value that is used in Direct Mail lists such
as US-ASCII, and ISO-8859-1), and converts message bodies to the correct
message type: text, Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME), or MIME
Encapsulation of Aggregate HTML Documents (MHTML).
g.. Quickly processes large lists of recipients to whom you want to send
e-mail messages.
h.. Makes file attachments possible.
The Direct Mailer pipeline is used to process lists of recipients. You can
add new components to the pipeline, integrate the components with
line-of-business systems, or replace them with components supplied by third
parties.
Does anyone know how and from where Direct Mailer obtains the codepage value
(bullit 6)?
Sincerely,
Maria Jensen
