Send Mail with HTML

[Richard V Marut]

I have a send mail step to send an external e-mail that includes an html
statement to send a mail back into SAP and the result is that I don't
get the link as expected. Instead, I see the html statement. This
happens in both Lotus Notes and Outlook. I changed to the line mode
editor when I created the statement and entered it as a comment using
'/*'. The statement I'm using is <a href=mailto:rmarut at company.com>Click
here</a> and when I view it in Notes I see the html code with the e-mail
address as a link instead of 'Click here' as the link. In Outlook I see
the statement without the link. Note: your e-mail is probably showing
the 'mail to' address as a link. When I entered it, I had quotes before
rmarut and after com.
 
I've created a message in SAP from SO00 and included a URL (Mail to did
not quite work) from the menu with the same statement and sent it to my
SAP id and my external address. The SAP mail had the 'Click here' as the
link and the external mail did not. Apparently there is a translation
problem going out of SAP.
 
Does anyone have some insight on how to get this to work?
