thank you harish

I got something like this:

\<b\>Prior to completing this orientation, would you have considered some of your  
e-Mail be corporate records?:\</b\> Yes

\<b\>Comments:\</b\> well, this is working great now!

Maybe, my email was not html enabled view but I made sure it was enable and  
I still got the same \<b\> on my body of the email.

:pa:

any advice?

I think you need to send the email with the MIME type of text/enriched. I’ve never tried that though, so I’m not sure how well it will work, or even how to make something appear as simple as bold text. :puzzle:
