Microsoft Outlook Formatting

Reply Quote

Hey there. I just got this control and it's great so far. I'm having a problem though. I'm writing an email client, and I'm getting in emails from Outlook and I'm trying to pass the html generated from Outlook through Cute to try to get it in the right format. Seems like cute has quite a few handy functions for this, but the ones that seem most likely don't seem to be working correctly.

What I've tried to do is this...

Dim CU As New CuteEditor.Editor
CU.Text = Email.HTMLBody
CU.CleanUpMicrosoftWordHTML()
CU.CleanUpHTMLCode()

Both of these functions don't seem to be formatting the emails the way I'm wanting them.

I'm getting stuff like this:

v\:* {behavior:url(#default#VML);} o\:* {behavior:url(#default#VML);} w\:* {behavior:url(#default#VML);} .shape {behavior:url(#default#VML);}

Of course MS is behind thisâ€¦Obviously we need these emails to be highly professional and cleanâ€¦There IS a spellcheckâ€¦right? Probably should default to auto check spelling so it is always professional :+)

Anybody have any idea how to remove this formatting and convert outlook ellipses and apostrophes to their HTML counterparts? Any help would be greatly appriciated!

MiStACoRn,

Have you input the above content into editor?

The above code is the outlook CSS style code. If you set the following property to true, Cute Editor should remove those code. However Cute Editor doesn't have the feature to convert outlook ellipses and apostrophes to their HTML counterparts.

Editor.EnableStripStyleTagsCodeInjection Property

Specifies whether to remove inject <Style> tags which contain malicious, client-side executable code before writing the string into the db. When this property is set to true (the default) Cute Editor strips all <Style> tags which contain malicious, client-side executable code from the html to prevent style tag injection attack.

I have the same problem. Some emails are showing stuff like:

p { margin: 0; }

v\:* {behavior:url(#default#VML);} o\:* {behavior:url(#default#VML);} w\:* {behavior:url(#default#VML);} .shape {behavior:url(#default#VML);}

However, setting the above property to true does not seem to resolve the issue.

Any ideas? I really need to get this resolved.

Hi Kenneth

I'm still getting the problem. Here is one example of the html. I think what's going on is that the email incorrectly displays items in the <head> tag, and then it becomes part of the body in the email chain.

Hopefully you can provide me a resolution on this soon.

Thanks

<html>
<head>
<base target="_blank" /><style> body {padding:0;margin:0;}</style>
</head>
<body >

<head>
p { margin: 0; }

Please set property EditCompleteDocument to true and try again.

<CE:Editor ID="editor1" runat="server" EditCompleteDocument="true">

Unfortunately that did not work. I still get the same problem. Here is another example of a html email.

H1 {text-align:center; font-size:20px; font-family:Verdana,Helvetica, sans-serif; color:#000000; } td { font-family:Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size:13px; } .text { font-size:14px; font-family:Verdana,Helvetica, sans-serif; color:#333333; line-height:17px; } .signature { font-size:13px; line-height:15px; color:#333333; } .endtext { font-size:10px; color:#ffffff; font-family:Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; background:#333333; } .price { align:center; width:203px; font-size:32px; font-weight:bold; color:Red; font-family:Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; background:#FFFFFF; text-align:center; } .small { width:202px; font-size:9px; color:#000000; font-family:Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; background:#FFFFFF; } ul { font-family:Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size:13px; } .medium { font-size:10px; color:#000000; font-family:Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; background:#FFFFFF; } .large { font-size:24px; text-align:center; text-weight:bold; color:#000000; font-family:Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; background:#FFFFFF; }

</STYLE>

This is a test

</body>

If the email is in this format, it doesn't display correctly.

Just FYI, we were previously using Telerik's RadEditor, but switched from it to CuteEditor and purchased the CuteEditor license b/c RadEdtior was having some other issues. If I pull up these emails using Telerik's RadEditor, they all display correctly and just fine.

Hi syedrazi,

By default editor will remove the <style> target. Please set EnableStripStyleTagsCodeInjection="false", it should fix the problem of the html content above.

<CE:Editor ID="editor1" runat="server" EnableStripStyleTagsCodeInjection="false"
EditCompleteDocument="true">
</CE:Editor>

Regards,

Ken
