Outlook Subject - missing info from var
Posted: 13 Jul 2019, 00:19
Hello all,
I am using a tool to automate an email.
This takes several info from a GUI and puts it on the email subject.
The contents of the variables are somewhat huge, but the customer wants it on the email subject...
So, on the email subject i have to put:
This is the issue here:
Customer = 6 characters
Time and date = 2019/01/01
Occurence ammout = from 1 to 3 characters
Device = from 10 to 30 characters
Description = might have 200+ characters
So, the email subject might be HUGE.
And no, there is no convincing them that using email body to have text is better, because, well, reasons...
I have two email subjects going on.
One of them has the same format, but it works perfectly, as it is WAY shorter.
This one is HUGE so it just cut's off at 50 characters give or take.
I know for a fact that if i copy-paste the whole thing manually it works and the subject is OK.
I also know for a fact that if i copy-paste a whole text string (loret ipsum) on the email subject var it fills it perfectly:
but
doesn't work..
I also tried:
Both of the above break off at little over 70 characters..
I also know for a fact that the email subject limit is 457 characters, but it's far from reaching it.
Oh, and if i put:
It's all there!
Ideas?
