Line breaks and Cc field

stellabantug · March 22nd, 2004, 02:45 PM

Imar-

This is the start of my new topic. Sorry for the inconvenience earlier but i really do appreciate all your help.

I have a Parsebody function that replaces all Chr(13) INTO <br> tags.

---------
Function ParseBody(strText)

strText = Replace(strText, Chr(13), "<br>")

ParseBody = strText

End Function
---------

At the end of my code, I have this:

---------
Response.Write(ParseBody(strBody))

--------

but it still would not work... the confirmation email does not have any line breaks.

As for the VPEmail being non-required, I have not changed anything from when I was using CDONTS. It was a non-required field, yet there was a Cc set up. And how does this explain the "to" (ReqEmail = required) field which has the same error message?

One more thing to think about, sometimes, the page would give me an error which is the following:

----------

Provider error '80004005'

Unspecified error

/OnlineForm/Email1.asp, line 71
---------

But when I refresh a few seconds after, it would give me the confirmation page. Do you know why this happens?

stellabantug · March 22nd, 2004, 02:50 PM

BTW, the error message i get in the email is the following:

-----------
The following message arrived with illegal envelope data, typically a
mangled address that doesn't obey the RFC822/976 protocol specification.
If you do not recognize the source of the bad header, perhaps you should
contact a Postmaster at your site and ask why your mail was rejected.

Your message is being returned unprocessed.

The following annotated envelope headers illustrate the error(s):

Error in "to" envelope address:

<@advocatehealth.com>
^-illegal token in route, expected word, illegal end of route address

Error in "Cc" header address:

<@advocatehealth.com>
^-illegal token in route, expected word, illegal end of route address

The entire original message file follows.

Imar · March 22nd, 2004, 02:53 PM

Well, the problem is still the same: the To and CC addresses do not contain a valid e-mail address. The most obvious reason is that the form fields do not contain a valid value.

Does the code for the e-mail also run when the page loads the first time? If that is the case, it makes sense that the form fields are empty.

If that doesn't help, can you post the code for the entire page, changing any private or secure data? Can you spend some time formatting the code so we don't have to scroll like idiots to read it?

Cheers,

Imar

One more thing. You said you used this:

Response.Write(ParseBody(strBody))

This sends the contents of strBody to the browser. How do you add the same text to the e-mail message? It somehow looks like you're mixing two things up; thinking that the entire page is now send as an e-mail message, or something like that.

Cheers,

I doubt that the "To" field is not valid because whenever I fill in the VPEmail address, then it runs correctly (and the only problem then that I have are the linebreaks).

But if I do not fill in the VPEmail, which is the CC field, then the error message above is sent, and it is an error on BOTH the "to" and "cc" field.

I changed the response.Write function into the following per instructions from a friend:

***
If strBody <> "" And Not IsNull(strBody) Then
Response.Write( ParseBody(CStr(strBody)) )
End If
***

Below is my code. Its purpose is to simultaneously send the form results into a database and an email confirmation in addition to an HTML confirmation page as soon as the page is sent. I tried to reformat it, but Iâm not sure how you want it to be. I took out all the notes and tried to make it as easy to read as possible. Please let me know specifically how you want me to post this if this is not good. THANKS SO MUCH for your patience and help.

Quick question: Does the page post to itself and did you leave that part out?? If another page posts to this page, can you post the code for that page too?

Formatting looks fine to me; there is no horizontal scroll bar....

No, this ASP page is connected to another HTML page which is the body of the form. The code is posted below. There might be more fields in there because I just deleted the other fields from the previous post so as not to make it too long. I have never really dealt with the coding from this page since I use the wizards in the normal view. THANKS IMAR!

Aaaaaaah, scrolling again.

Can you add a few enters here and there by editing your post? Just cut the long lines in multiple parts.
Since it's HTML, the formatting doesn't really matter much.

Cheers,

OK, I took another look, and saw this:

Code:

objCDOSYSMail.From=strFrom
objCDOSYSMail.To=strTo
objCDOSYSMail.Bcc=strCc
objCDOSYSMail.Bcc=strBcc

You are assigning the CC string to the BCC field as well. I am not 100% into the mail RFCs, but this may explain why you get an error on the To field as well.

Anyway, to prevent all problems, how about this. Just attach a CC field when the user actually typed on in:

Code:

If Request.Form("VPEMail") & "" <> "" Then
  strCc=Request.Form("VPEMail") & "@advocatehealth.com"
Else
  strCc = ""
End If

...

objCDOSYSMail.From = strFrom
objCDOSYSMail.To = strTo
If strCc <> "" Then
  objCDOSYSMail.Cc = strCc
End If
objCDOSYSMail.Bcc = strBcc
objCDOSYSMail.Subject = strSubject
...

This way, you only try to add the CC field when it has been entered.
You could repeat this for the To and Bcc fields as well, and reject the form when the required fields haven't been filled it.

I recommend again to remove your e-mail address from this and older topic (unless they are fake, which I doubt). You can't sue Wrox when you start getting spam on the e-mail accounts you post here.
I used to add my e-mail address in posts at the old P2P, and now I get up to 250 spam e-mails a day on that account.... :-(

Reformatting the message didn't really help. You can use the Preview button right below the text area where you type your message. When the preview window has a scrollbar at the bottom, your page is too wide, and you need to add some linebreaks.
SInce the text area automatically wraps the text, you cannot not assume that if it fits in the text area, it will also fit on the page.

Maybe it's time for a <div> with an overflow set to scroll / auto / whatever, so just the message will scroll, instead of the entire page, including the message editor....
