Question asked on Feb 10, 2014
I'm using Automator to create a new email using Outlook for Mac 2011. Within Automator, it gives me a place to enter To, Cc, Bcc, Subject, Message, etc. However, I'm having problems with the actual message text. No matter how I enter the message into the Automator action, it looses all format when the action is run and a new email is created.

For example in Automator, I will have the message text be something like:

"Paragraph1 with a bunch of text

Paragraph2 with a bunch of text

Best regards,
Name"


Once the action is run, the new email in outlook looks like this:

"Paragraph1 with a bunch of text Paragraph2 with a bunch of text Best regards, Name"

Everything is on one line. It looses all paragraph breaks and formatting. Does anyone have any ideas to fix this? I tested this using Mac Mail and it doesn't have this problem. Must be something with Outlook.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance!
