Michael,

 

Thanks for the welcome and the super fast response. :)

 

We’re using OTRS 2.1.3. Right now, when I attempt to include html mark-up in an email response, or in a template for a response, when I receive my test email, all the html content (well the  < and > characters at least) are being converted to entity references.  I’m not sure if this is happening at the point that I am editing the template (maybe a setting for the templates/responses to “allow HTML content” that I’m missing?) or when it gets passed off to our SMTP service. Based on you positive response that OTRS can handle HTML content in messages, my bet is that it’s the SMTP service that’s set to encode those characters as entities. I wanted to see if that’s your suspicion as well, before I go off and track down the documentation  and admins for that system. :)

Hi Robert,

Welcome to the OTRS community!

Yes, you can use HTML within replies and responses in OTRS. The only place where we do not (yet) support HTML markup is in the event-based notification.

Hope this helps,

((enjoy))

I only fiddled with this for a few minutes before I figured I’d throw this out to the list (before trying to figure out which step in the system might be encoding all my < and >, OTRS or the email server).

 

Can I include HTML content within an OTRS response, in particular, within template responses/replies?
