Send Email Body Message : obj characters

Hello,

 

I'm using the Send Email V2 action to send a HTML message. In Outlook (PC) the body of the message has a "obj" prefix in front of each variable I'm using. Example:

 

matthieugd_0-1641938310227.png

 

The variable is used in a string variable containing the HTML of the body :

 

matthieugd_1-1641938395214.png

 

I don't have this encoding issue in Outlook for Mac for example. Any idea ?

Hi @matthieugd 

 

Interesting question. Not sure this is a flow issue or not? Check the Outlook File Options menu,  check language and accessibility settings. See anything other than the default settings set or not? Its worth a try.

 

Thanks

Thanks for the answer but this not specific to a user but to all Outlook PC users in my organization. Outlook for Mac and Outlook for iOS are not impacted. And this is occurring only with emails from Power Automate. 

Hi @matthieugd 

 

Thanks for your reply. Can't think of anything else. I would suggest to create a support ticket with Microsoft. Please keep update the outcome.

I solved my issue by pasting in the body text as "true plain text" and then adding the variables in code view.
Before when is experienced the issue I pasted in the body text, already with html formatting.

So, I guess, just start with true plain text from the text editor....
