Erel B4X founder Staff member Licensed User Longtime User Jun 22, 2015 #5 Your code is correct (though you are calling GetHtmlIntent twice for some reason). Try it with a simple html: <b>Hello</b> world. Upvote 0

AlpVir Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Jun 22, 2015 #6 After eliminating the double GetHtmlIntent the simple example <b> Hello </ b> works. But it does not work with the tags table. This is very serious for me. Code: Copy Message.Body = "<table><tr><td><b>Hello</b></td></tr><tr><td>no bold</td></tr></table>" Either by entering the tag <HTML> and <BODY> or <meta http-equiv='Content-Type' content='text/html; charset=iso-8859-1'> or <!DOCTYPE html> .... The use of the tables is essential for me. Upvote 0

AlpVir Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Jun 23, 2015 #8 I do not know how to read the message in raw format. I have read many post, according to which the <TABLE> tag is not processed by the email client. It seems that it only supported the <B> and <BR> Having the need to send emails with formatted text I also thought of sending a single image that shows the screenshot of a table. But even this seems to work. Code: Copy Message.Body="<html><body><img src=" & Chr(34) & "file://" & File.DirAssets & "/Classe.png" & Chr(34) & "></body></html>" How to fix it (formatted text only)?

AlpVir Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Jun 23, 2015 #10 The image is created from the app by reading a db and is inserted in an email. I attach an example that could be accomplished with a table. Since it seems that the tables can not be sent with an email I thought it could conversely be sent image. I would not use attachments. With a table (<TABLE><TR> .......) would be much simpler ! Upvote 0

AlpVir Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Jun 23, 2015 #13 There is no server on which to store the image. The image created on the fly from the app, should be sent via email. It 's really impossible to send an email with the text (body) in HTML (<TABLE> <TR>, etc.) ? Upvote 0

S sorex Expert Licensed User Longtime User Jun 23, 2015 #14 it shouldn't be, it's just text. I'll see if I can test this here. Upvote 0
AlpVir Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Jun 23, 2015 #15 Thank you. I repeat: in Message.body you can insert tags such as <TABLE> or <TR>. They are ignored; this is what I could understand / experience so far I use Android 2.3.3 Upvote 0
