text in boxes when sending email

jins — Thu, 31 Oct 2019 13:46:38 GMT

ods _all_ close;

filename mail email

from=" "

to =" "

TYPE="text/html";

ods html body=mail style=minimal rs=none;

ods html text= "Hi";

proc report;....

run;

ods html text= "Kind regards" ;

ods html close;

When I submit this I get the output table corrects. For the text I have boxes in the outlook email. Are there any options to suppress these boxes? This is shown below here

Kind Regards,

Have you tried the simpler

ods text= "Hi";

Yes, I tried it and it did not work. Outlook gives a message on top that "If there are problems with how this message is displayed, click here to view it in a web browser". When I open in the browser it looks fine.

Not sure if it is an outlook related thing.

Outlook is a Microsoft product; MS has a very long history of not adhering to standards. It took them almost two decades to make Internet Explorer work like all other browsers. Try another mail client like Thunderbird for cross-testing.
