Emails Sent by Loading Oft Files not rendering Custom Fields

Aspose.Email Product Family
#1

We are using a Custom Outlook Form are loading the custom oft and updating the recipients and body and sending the email using SMTPClient.

Below are key code lines :
MapiMessage mapiMsg = MapiMessage.fromFile(oftFileName);

MailConversionOptions options = new MailConversionOptions();
options.setConvertAsTnef(true);

client.setUseTnef(true);

When the email is received by a user the Custom Field Initial value loads properly. However once the email is marked as read the custom field values stop loading.

Please note the Custom field values work fine when the email is sent manually from outlook using the oft

Please see attached oft and fdm files to see how custom labels are being loaded from the body.

the sample body which the oft expects is something like:

Label1=Approve Credit 100;Label2=Approve Debit 100;Label3=Approve Loan 1000;

We have investigated the issue internally on our end with Outlook(version 16) and Office365 Account. MS Outlook saves current custom field value to property “DyLabel61” before send.

After send/receive manually from Outlook, custom field value is not calculating by formula:

Mid( [Message] , Instr( [Message], “1=”)+2 , Instr([Message], “;”)- Instr([Message], “1=”) -2 )

The custom field value is loaded from property “DyLabel61” and we can test Outlook behaviour by deleting property “DyLabel61”. In case of Aspose SMTP send, property “DyLabel61” is not assigned but we can assign it using following code.

mapiMsg.addCustomProperty(MapiPropertyType.PT_UNICODE,
        "Approve Credit 100".getBytes(Charset.forName("utf-16le")), "DyLabel61");
