Forward Email - Format "Comment" Field

Posted on by KrzysztofKiser

Hi,

Is there a way to format the comment field in the "Forward an email (V2)" action?
I don't really need any fancy formatting, but I'd need to have at least line breaks.

Even if I use line breaks in the field, the email comes formatted as plain text and the text is merged all together making the email very hard to read.

Hello @KrzysztofKiser ,
you can first use the "Html to text" action in which put your comments.
Then, in the "Forward an email (V2) action, put the Body (got from the previous action) in the Comment field:

This has unfortunately not worked.

In the HTML to Text there were line breaks, however when the body of the action was put in the comments and the email forwarded, the line breaks were gone.

Hi @KrzysztofKiser ,

Maybe you could try to use the <br /> tag.

<br />

or

replace('Value',decodeUriComponent('%0A'),'<br>')

Best Regards,

Charlie Choi

I've replaced the forward email action with the reply to an email action and this solved the issue.

Thanks for the tip, though.

I found 'Reply to' action is the only way but I don't want to send the email to sender and unfortunately this action allows you to add people in the To list but you cannot omit the original sender. MS have put the effort into enabling rich formatting on a reply but not on a forward. Ridiculous really.

Use a GRAPH request to forward email and modify the body as you like.
