## Plain Text E-mail

If the performer of a notification has a notification preference of plain text mail (MAILTEXT), the notification is flagged as such in the Workflow Notification table. When the Notification Mailer polls the Notification table and identifies that flag, it generates a plain text e-mail notification from the information in the table and sends it to the performer role. The Notification Mailer uses the Text Body defined for the message in the Oracle Workflow Builder message property page to generate the plain text e-mail. It token replaces all attribute values referenced in the message body with plain text values. For example:

- PL/SQL Document attributes are token replaced with a plain text version of a PL/SQL document.

- Document Management-type document attributes are token replaced with the plain text display name of the document attribute. To display the contents of the Document Management document, you need to view your notification from the Notifications Worklist web page. See: Viewing Notifications from a Web Browser and To Access a DM Document Sent by a Notification.

- URL attributes are token replaced with the display name of the URL attribute, followed by a colon and the URL:

    		<URL_Attribute_Display_Name>:<URL>

> Attention: Message attributes that have Attach Content checked in their Attributes property page, are attached as plain text to their parent notification. Note that this may render some attachments unreadable if the attachment includes special formatting or your plain text e-mail reader does not recognize attachments. To view these attachments, you should display your notifications in the Notifications Worklist web page. See: Viewing Notifications from a Web Browser.

A recipient of a plain text e-mail notification responds by manually replying to the notification and entering response values following the instructions provided in the notification. See: To Respond to a Plain Text E-mail Notification Using Templated Response and To Respond to a Plain Text E-mail Notification Using Direct Response.
