    Email Formatting / Alignment niggle

    File attached is a copy of this post.
    Might get a better idea of what I'm talking about as the forum munges posts and the layout I'm trying to explain is altered here.

    Hi all,
    Got more of niggle than a problem.

    The emails sent via catalog are not aligned as prefferred.
    Please see this example:

    __Order Status__________________________________________________

    Order Number: SB26RP10000079
    Shipping Method: Second Class Recorded
    Payment Status: Pending
    Date Received: 2003/08/07 18:47 GMT
    Payment Method: CHEQUE/POSTAL ORDER/Cash In advance

    __Lines Ordered_________________________________________________

    O2 Pay As You Go 'Talkalot' Sim Pack (O2SIMPACK)
    No. Not Yet Shipped: 1

    Unit Price: £4.99 Total Cost £4.99
    ________________________________________________________________



    __Totals________________________________________________________

    Subtotal: £4.99
    Shipping & Handling: £0.98
    Total Tax: £0.17
    Total: £6.14
    ________________________________________________________________

    You can see that the order number, shipping method etc & the total prices are not aligned very nicely.

    Background: I have had to install Normans patch to allow emails to me sent via sendmail as they would not work otherwise.
    I have also commented out a line in the patched actinic.pm so that the email is not one continuous line.
    # $sMessageText =~ s/\n/\r\n/g; # all LF -> CRLF

    The patch and the commented out line work a treat, my question is finally:
    Is there a way to align the items mentioned like so?

    ...
    Order Number: SB26RP10000079
    Shipping Method: Second Class Recorded
    Payment Status: Pending
    Date Received: 2003/08/07 18:47 GMT
    Payment Method: CHEQUE/POSTAL ORDER/Cash In advance
    ...
    Subtotal: £4.99
    Shipping & Handling: £0.98
    Total Tax: £0.17
    Total: £6.14
    ...

    Could the solution have something to do with the items like <Actinic:COMPANY_CONTACT_ADDRESS1_SEP/> with the templates?
    E.G If I found the seperator for the Order number and prefixed it with 2 &nbsp; to shift it along two spaces.

    Apologies if this has already been covered but I didn't find it.
    Any help appreciated

      Thanks Chris,
      To be honest I havent really fiddled around with it as my site is live and dont want to confuse customers with errors etc.
      I wanted to hear from someone who knows.

      I'll wait for your response if you get one.

      Cheers

      Simon

        If you could let me know what version of the software you are using (6.1.2? 6.1.3?) and email a copy of your Act_CustomerEmail.txt and your OrderScript.pl files to communityadmin@actinic.co.uk then I can come up with a couple of suggestions for you.

          Unfortunately, the emails which are generated by the desktop application are not editable, as the cart contents etc. are inserted by the application itself.

          I have reported this as a bug.
