Publishing OneNote Pages to HTML

[Tim Wilkinson]

As a new user I am trying to send "published" HTML pages (.MHT files)
attached to emails.
To date none of the recipients have been able to open these pages.
Sending them as Word docs is not a solution as format of ink etc is
lost/moved.
Any suggestions ?

How are you sending them? With what program?

What browser(s) are used by the recipients (MHT files will only open in
IE)? Do they report any error messages when opening them?

 

[Tim Wilkinson]

I am sending from a CRM application "Goldmine"
The recipient in the last test does not see an attachment
There are just multiple pages of alphanumeric code and no visible attachment
The recipient is using IE v6

I have also just tried sending an .MHT file to myself and what arrives is a
web page with all the text and the images sitting along the bottom as
attachments - no way of telling which image was supposed to appear where on
the page
If I save this attached file to desktop and then double click to open it
will after prompting open it using Outlook and looks right
The problem is that I cannot send these .MHT files unless it is obvious how
the recipient opens/uses the file

Tim, in each case, are you sending from Goldmine, or did you send from
Outlook in the last case when you sent to yourself? If you send from Outlook
or another email program, the MHT file should be interpreted as a normal
attachment (this is in fact why we export as MHT, since if we exported as
HTML you would have all sorts of image files to contend with).

So, to clarify, are these the steps you took?
1. From onenote, File/Publish pages
2. save (At this point, try opening the resulting MHT file with IE on your
machine to verify what it looks like)
3. From email program, attach the resulting MHT file, send
4. in receiving email program, you should get an MHT attachment you can
double-click to open in IE.

If not, can you explain in detail what you did, and which program you used
in each case. And what versions. Thanks.

Chris - Good Morning
I am following the exact steps you mention - in all cases the emails are
sent from Goldmine
Upon further investigation it appears to only be a problem with notes that
have images in them. Text notes are fine, but notes with images end up coming
through as an envelope icon that has been renamed with a prefix emb*** with
the textof the note embedded in the body of the email and all the images
along the bottom as attachements.
Is it possible to "publish" a page, email it as an attachment and for the
recipient to just open the HTML page with the images stillin place ?
Thanks

The steps I described work fine in every mail program I have tried. Normally
the attachment comes through and opens properly on the recipient's machine
just as you want. Goldmine seems to be mangling the MHT file somehow.

To work around that problem, if you want to keep using Goldmine to mail the
files, you're either going to have to copy/paste from Onenote to a new
Goldmine message, or go with Word doc format, or print out the notes as PDF
or images. If the recipients were all on Windows, I would suggest you ask
them to install the free OneNote trial since that acts as a viewer for our
files too.
