Hi Guys

Not sure if this is possible but is there a way to make the background colour of the sticky in the comments table maintain its colour when it is converted to HTML and sent as an Email. Basically I want it to highlight important points in the E-Mail. Also when I send the Email I get BST 2011 added into the time column which I would like to remove. It may be Outlook which is causing this when the E-Mail is opened but I am not sure

Thanks

Aidan

You’d have to put together the HTML of the email yourself using a script, using HTML/css styling to get the sticky paragraphs to look like you want.

Hi Carl

Thanks for the reply. Might be a bit advanced for me at the moment so the plain old white background will have to do for the time been
