If I do, I need to repaste this same line over the regular html line. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/how-to-get-a-notification-email-to-display-html-code#post-23714 Tue, 19 Apr 2011 18:11:33 +0000 Carl Hancock 23714@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>You would need to send a plain text email to do this. By default your email client is going to render that HTML because it will recognize it as such and therefore render it. You'd have to force the email to send as plain text. Currently this isn't an option, but it is something we plan on adding in a future release. What are you doing where you need the HTML to be copy-n-pastable? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/how-to-get-a-notification-email-to-display-html-code#post-23713 Tue, 19 Apr 2011 17:51:47 +0000 Tom Drake 23713@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I can send screenshot if you still need, but I'll try to explain better first. Basically I want a copy and paste friendly html code, similar to blog carnival emails.</p> <p>So this...<br /> <code>{submitter name} presents &lt;a href=&quot;{post url}&quot; &gt;{post title}&lt;/a&gt;.</code></p> <p>Would show in the notification email as this text/code...<br /> <code>Tom presents &lt;a href=&quot;http://example.com&quot; &gt;Example Title&lt;/a&gt;.</code></p> <p>Not...<br /> Tom presents <a href="http://example.com" rel="nofollow">Example Title</a>.</p> <p>So I just need a way to force the code to actually show up in the sent email, not the result of formatted code. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/how-to-get-a-notification-email-to-display-html-code#post-23712 Tue, 19 Apr 2011 17:42:25 +0000 Carl Hancock 23712@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I'm not entirely sure what you are asking.
