WF Email - URL content not hidden

Mon Jan 29 02:28:58 EST 2007

Hi Susan,

As Jocelyn mentioned, you need to tweak the SCOT configuration.

In SCOT, there is an option to perform conversions.
SCOT -> Settings -> Conversion Rules

Check your entries there (I've seen a rule to convert TXT to HTM at a site I
was previously at).
Check with your Basis Team (or even a good ABAP'er) and they can help advise
which SX_OBJECT_CONVERT_* function module to use.

Hope that helps.

Cheers,
Tom
