Dear all, when I prepare the message of a mail to be sent in an automation, some field (eg.: coming from a column with formula (concatenate)) are different from the original.

In particulare the character "_" is lost and even "\\" is changed to "\\".

Less important: also some emojis are changed.

 

Could you help me to fix the issue?

Thank you very much.

Best regards

Ah, seems likely it's being recognized as markdown.  "_" is used to indicate italics, for example, and "\\" is used to escape markdown formatting

Dear TheTimeSavingCo,

thank you very much; you are right.

Actually, now I've seen that actually the word after "_" is italic.

THank you again.

Best regards.

Dear TheTimeSavingCo and all,

I'm trying to by-pass the formatting but it seems that it is not possible to let the character "_" be visible.

 

Have you any tips?

 

THank you.

Dear all,

I've been able to escape markdown using "\\" as indicate in the web page.

 

Thank you.
