Hello All,

I am using send secure SMTP mail activity with html mail body and need to send a string variable contains combination of special characters.
Example : String variable value is &HC<&<>wd#£(ghgsk*)
Send secure SMTP mail activity used with body in html format. When I try to send mail with mail body as :My variable is : variable value then actual received mail body is
My variable is : &HC

Here string variable got truncated . Any hel on this issue is appreciated.

Thanks

&HC<&<>wd#£(ghgsk*)

We can escape the string
option 1:

@Sreenivasulu_P

&HC<&<>wd#£(ghgsk*)

When Project is set to Windows (targetframework) we can also easy use:

Your variable isn’t getting truncated. Some of those are special characters being interpreted as HTML code.

Try this:

<pre>&HC<&<>wd#£(ghgsk*)</pre>

Or…

system.Web.HttpUtility.htmlencode(yourVar)
