preserve formatting when fetching email

Hello, I'm a beginner with OTRS, and I would like to know if this software allows to preserve formatting when fetching email. Cause when I attempting to fetch emails via POP3 from a mailbox, all generated tickets into OTRS loose their original format. Do you know a way to keep it safe? Thanks in advance, Regards, James G.

What version of OTRS are you running?
In later versions there are options in SysConfig which allow you to
keep the HTML versions of emails as well as generate a text version.

Hello Steven, Thanks a lot for your fast answer... My OTRS version is : 3.2.8-01 I checked some properties in "SysConfig" part, and I found this : PostmasterAutoHTML2Text Converts HTML mails into text messages. Is this the correct option? Regards, James G.

There should be an option Ticket::Frontend::ZoomRichTextForce which
will be set to "Always show RichText if available" which should
display any HTML messages.
I think you need to show us some screenshots of what you are seeing in
OTRS and what you expect to see?

This option seems not to be present in the select box. Please follow this link to see the screen shot : http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/221/dfoy.jpg/ Why do I get this behavour?

The option is there and it's selected. You need to post screenshots of
what you are seeing in the ticket view so we can see what you mean by
losing their original format. What format do you mean?

Hello Steve, Below, the snapshot of the email I will fetch via OTRS, with some HTML special formatting. http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/853/vvre.jpg/ And below, the result, when OTRS fetch the email (via POP3) and convert it in ticket : http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/833/rpuo.jpg/ Even if the option is set as you advised, the ticket display a text message instead of a HTML content... Regards, James G.

So for some reason your install is converting the HTML emails to text. Not
sure why that is happening to be honest as by default it should leave the
HTML emails intact, you have to specifically configure it to do what it's
doing.
Not sure if official OTRS support would be able to assist you, but chances
are it would cost.

Hello, Following some researches, I found out that OTRS wasn't in cause for my issue. Indeed, it was my email server configuration. I didn't yet find the root cause, but if I fetch email via POP3 to another email client, the content of my email is also in text brut. Thanks for your assistance. James G.
