Craig, I've found the sendtaskdescription graphical text editor to be =
very flaky at best.  If you are familiar with sapscript I would suggest =
changing the editor to line editor mode so you can see what is being =
used in the Tag column just before each line of text.  I suggest =
starting each paragraph line with an * asterisk and then each remaining =
line in the paragraph keep the tag field blank, which tells the program =
it's a continuation from the last line.  It's just a suggestion you can =
try, play with the tags and see what works.  Also, just a note, standard =
line size is only 75 characters, but there are a few notes related to =
increasing that size to 132, I don't have the numbers handy.  We found =
that getting tabs and spaces and special formatting to transfer properly =
through SAP Connect to the users Outlook inbox is almost impossible, so =
we kept it as simple as we could.
 
Hope that helps.
Marty

Good Morning,
 
I have a task that is sending an email and I am using the object type
SELFITEM with the method SENDTASKDESCRIPTION.  My problem is that my =
text in
SAP looks fine, but when I receive the email it is spaced oddly and =
splits
sentences at words.  I play with the wording and spacing in the text and =
it
does not get any better.  I did not know if it is perhaps the format I =
am
using did not translate well to email.  If anyone has any suggestions I
would appreciate hearing from you.  Below is the example of how it looks
when received as the email.
 
There also may be other items outstanding, such as a credit card, mobile
phone, secure ID token, laptop, etc. Please contact the Helpline at =
(303)
737-3001 to discuss how the r
eturn of these items should be handled.
 
We've also sent a copy of this notice to Data Security and
Telecommunications so they can suspend the employee's ID and deactivate
voice mail (the extension will remain active).  This will be completed =
the
fir
st business day following the employee's last day of work.
 
If you have additional questions about the collecting and returning of
items, your access to and the subsequent suspension of e-mail and voice
mail, please call Human Resources Personnel staf
f immediately at (303)
737-4172.
 
Thanks,
