html in email and attachment
I'm hoping for a bit of assistance...
In setting up an email for a failed build, I've come across some quirky behavior. My plan was to include an html formatted email message providing a link to the build log, along with that same build log as an .html attachment. If I set up the email to have a plain text message along with the .html file attached, everything works fine. Likewise, if I send a message with html formatting, but no .html file attachment, the html formatting works fine. When I include both the html formatted message and the .html attachment, I get the .html attachment, but the html formatted message displays the html code instead of the formatted message. Any ideas? Thanks, Mark

I generated a similar test email and it was displayed properly with Outlook Express 6. I didn't check other email client applications. I guess it depends on what email client you are using (and how they handle different mime encodings, etc).

Try it with this patch (extract to your VisBuildPro install path): http://www.kinook.com/Download/VisBuildNet.zip

I also had simular problems so I just wrote my own e-mail step. I use it for completion and error e-mails. if you select only from '<step' to '</step>' then go to build pro and click past it will create the step for you. Hope this helps
<step action='Run Script' type='0'> <Language>VBScript</Language> <Script><![CDATA[' send by connecting to port 25 of the SMTP server Dim iMsg Dim iConf Dim Flds Dim strHTML Dim strSmartHost Const cdoSendUsingPort = 2 StrSmartHost = "exchange2" Set iMsg = CreateObject("CDO.Message") Set iConf = CreateObject("CDO.Configuration") Set Flds = iConf.Fields ' set the CDOSYS configuration fields to use port 25 on the SMTP server With Flds .Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing") = cdoSendUsingPort .Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver") = strSmartHost .Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpconnectiontimeout") = 10 .Update End With ' build HTML for message body strHTML = "<HTML>" strHTML = strHTML & "<HEAD>" strHTML = strHTML & "<BODY>" strHTML = strHTML & "At %DATETIME%, the build of %ProjectName% (%BUILDNUM%) on %COMPUTERNAME% completed successfully.</br>" strHTML = strHTML & "The Build started at %STARTTIME%.</br>" strHTML = strHTML & "</BODY>" strHTML = strHTML & "</HTML>" ' apply the settings to the message With iMsg Set .Configuration = iConf .To = "%DistributionList%" .From = "%FromEmail%" .Subject = "Build Succeeded" .HTMLBody = strHTML .AddAttachment "%TEMP%\%PROJROOT%.html" .Send End With ' cleanup of variables Set iMsg = Nothing Set iConf = Nothing Set Flds = Nothing]]></Script> <indent type='3'>1</indent> <name>Send Mail</name> </step>

Thanks for the replies.
I loaded Visual Build using the older .dll that you provided. The html message formats as expected in outlook 2003. When I include an attachment (.html or .txt) in Visual Build, however, it fails to be sent. This happens no matter if I send an html message or a plain text message. In other words, the file attachment functionality is not working in outlook 2003 with the older .dll file (version 5.2.0.0). Edit: When I say "it fails to be sent" I mean the message body is sent, but without the attachment coming along for the ride. Last edited by mhouge; 03-04-2004 at 04:31 PM.
