how to change Font of mail content

[Former Member]

Dear Abapers,

I am having a requirement in which i have to send smartform as an attached PDF through e-mail. I have done that successfully, but the client also want the content of the mail to be of specific font.

The mail is having two things

1. PDF File - Which has been successfully implemented.

2. Some Content in the Mail body in a specific Font(Verdana), I am able to send the content also but dont know how to change the font.

I am using the following function module to send the email:-

FUNCTION 'SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1'

Now please tell me is it possible that we can have mail content be font specific? If so, how?

Thanks and regards

We do by inserting HTML commands into the mail content.... for instance:

lt_content-line = '<p style="font-family:arial;font-size:12pt">' .

and for other controls, such for double space, then write caption in bold::

concatenate '<br/><br/><br/><b>TEXT VALUE:&nbsp&nbsp  </b>' table-field into lt_content-line respecting blanks.

or to change size:

lt_content-line = '</p><p style="font-family:arial;font-size:10pt">'.

You may also need something for the heading, which we do like:

lt_head-line        = '&SO_FONTTYPE=ARIAL'.
      append lt_head.

Hi BreakPoint,

When inserting the following commands in the mail content, these command lines are getting displayed in the body of the mail.(as it_content is a table parameter passing in CONTENTS_TXT of FM).Can you please give more details about your solution.Also please let us know if the following changes/command lines are possible when sending mails using Classes (CL_BCS).

Of course, if you have CL_BCS then you should definitely use it. In either case, you need to set the mail type as 'HTM' (HTML-based). Example:

      LR_DOCUMENT = CL_DOCUMENT_BCS=>CREATE_DOCUMENT(
                      I_TYPE    = 'HTM'
                      I_TEXT    = LT_TEXT
                      I_SUBJECT = SUBJECT ).

Thanks a lot Brad, Is there any way to customize the color of the body/content(like green/blue....).

You are only limited by the boundaries of HTML - whatever HTML can do, you can do in an HTML-based email from SAP. I find it helpful to use macros when building HTML emails. If you're not familiar with HTML, CSS, etc., then you can use tools to build it (even MS Word works) or you can look at the source of existing emails or web pages. Keep in mind those poor folks who still don't use HTML capable email viewers or have it turned off and how it will look to them.
