After upgrading to the latest version we have mixed results in our sending result notifications. We are sending based on complete. Sometimes the subject is just blank and the body is there othertimes both the subject and body are blank. Not sure what to do. Thanks for any help.

You say sometimes. How often does this happen? What value do you use in the body?

The body of message is the StdOut of the Task. That appears sometimes. It seems when use the {TASK(Active,StdOut)} we don't get anything but when you use something like {TASK(21a0d828-643f-4ae4-8eb7-857e886b4014,StdOut)} then we get the results. As far as the subjects, it does seem pretty consistent that we don't have one.

For version 7 please use: {TASK(PrevTask,StdOut)} as Active is refering to the output of Notification itself (as it inherits from Task object).

Thanks, that worked. Any ideas on the missing subjects?

No, it does not make sense. Can you confirm now that you have received a mail with body (using new Variable) and no subject?

Yep. That is what I was testing and it didn't work. I have done some further testing. We have 2 smtp servers on site. One is for anonymous and another adds signing the email. I was sending to the signed server and it fails including the subject. The signed server runs a script to add the signature and then sends to the anonymous server. When switching to the normal anonymous server the subject is included. Do you know if you have updated the emails to be sent a different way, ie: different mime types or something like that? For now I will switch to using the unsigned smtp server.

We have replaced an old component but the component we use now have been used for the Email Task all the time. Perhaps you can get more info on mail server logs?
