Are you sure that both site are on v90b? I'm asking, since I've made in that release to include the styling inline versus in the header.

Also, do you receive the email in different clients?

Actually I just upgraded to v9.1 and everything seems to be working except the emails I get are now all basic white background with no section delineation.  I liked the blue format a lot as it made my submission emails very easy to read.  Is there a simple fix?

Thanks.

Are you not getting any data in your email or is it just not formatted (bluish) in your client?

What email client are you using?

Can you try a different client for testing?

Table style information has been included as inline styles to support many other clients which had rendering issues before, in your case it seems the other way around: your client doesn't seem to like in-line CSS…

Oliver,

All the data is arriving in the email, it's just not formatted at all.  My primary email client is Apple Mail 3.5 (OS 10.5.5) but I have also tested it on MS Entourage AND MS Outlook 2003 in a Windows XP environment.  It comes in unformatted in all three clients. 

I did use the auto upgrade feature (against your admonishments).  Could I have lost some information in that process?  All my forms are still there and seem to be working just fine – only the email formatting doesn't seem to be working.

Thanks

Possibly, but not very likely, since the error you're seeing seems relatively simple.

  1. Can you try and add an admin email address pointing to a web based email client?
  2. Also, what do you mean by unformatted?
  3. Do you see the tabular arrangement of input data?
  4. Is just not blue…etc.?

I'll try the web based email test.

It's neither tabular nor "formatted" (e.g., blue, section heading highlighted, etc.)  It's simply a list with field names on the left and data on the right.  This includes section headers that are undistinguished from any other field name.  All the data is there it's just difficult to read (since it's not tabular, bold, etc., formatted in any way.)

I'm not a programmer/developer but can tinker.  I"m not sure where to look for the inline-css.

Thanks, but what I received looks like the autoconfirmation message, I thought you had issues with the admin email (form input)?

Anyway, the auto conf email looks fine by the way, it does include formatting.
