How to add html stored in a richtext item to an HTMLMail in Xpages

Question

I need to add html to an email so I use Mark Leusink HTMLMail SSJS function. The html I have is in a richtext field and it looks like this.

"Content-Type: text/html; charset="utf-8"

<p dir="ltr">
 Test1</p>
<p dir="ltr">
 Test12</p>
<p dir="ltr">
 Test3</p>
<p dir="ltr">
Test4</p>
<p dir="ltr">
 &nbsp;</p>"

The content of the rt field is filled using the standard RT Editor in xpages

I have tried these method to add the rt to the email. "mail" is the html function and "rt" is the richtextitem where the content is stored

mail.addHTML(rt.getFormattedText(false,0,0));
mail.addHTML(rt.getUnformattedText();

But when I recieve the email the html is not preserved and the text is displayed without paragraphs,

How can I add the content of the richtext field to an html mail and preserve the html that is in the rt field

Thanks

If you use the wrapDocument XSnippet to convert NotesDocument into NotesXspDocument, you can then call .getHTML() on the NotesXspDocument. This should give you the HTML representation of the document.

I use it to update the contents of a CKEditor field with the content from an existing backend document. See my blog post on this: http://per.lausten.dk/blog/2012/12/xpages-dynamically-updating-rich-text-content-in-a-ckeditor.html
