Pierre : I have to go now but there seems to be problems with the HTML export through template text -- at least and maybe more. Haven't tried all options.
In any case, if it's me not doing things correctly, there's still something a bit wrong as it's not a simple task...
Copy / paste each content (can be long if you have many items... If you're asking it is because this does not appeal to you)
Select items and Grid>>HTML Export>>Settings>>Preview>>Select All>>Copy/Paste (if you want, I could add an option to export only the combined HTML content, without the items section)
Eventually, I could also add a merge content command, creating a new item with the merged content
[edit] Ah! this time you beat me to it Armando ! [/edit]
Oh... and like I said before, Pierre, I can't get the "template text" thing to work (when it's not a path to a working HTML file, but only "{fields}"). Hopefully, my explanation is clear...
Armando, Thanks very much for the step by step instructions. Assuming I followed your directions carefully, I'm sorry to report that the template did not produce a file w the content of the selected items. In fact it was blank when I selected save & preview.
However, I do think it's an excellent idea to create some sample templates for folks like me.
I know now why you're having problems. Your emails are actually .eml files imported from Thunderbird. I'll update the HTML export to work with these as I don't recall testing for those types of files. You could try to convert these to embedded HTML:
Select an item
In HTML pane, New
Select convert to embedded HTML
That too was not tested for .eml files (but since .eml is the same as .mht, one can hope)
Thanks Pierre. Since I want to put them all together in one document, I'll wait for your fix. BTW, I believe selected multiple items & exporting to html only exports the first one -- nothing after that.
It seems that no browser is able to merge .eml files. So your best bet is:
For each email item, click the New button
Select Convert to embedded HTML or Convert to an HTML file (your choice)
Once all the ones you want merged are converted, proceed as normal (your version should work):
Select items
HTML Export
If using settings, it should work
If using Armando's template, only embedded will work now. I'm fixing it right now to also work for HTML files [edit] in pre-Rel 10, this now works for embedded HTML, HTML files and for MHT files. As usual, for MHT files you must set the ItemHTMLHeight field to get the proper height [/edit]
Converted all to embedded html. Unfortunately it doesn't look my version works so I await #10
And not to be nasty or anything but I will say it again: Printing a report out of IQ should be as simple as <ctrl>+P (select an option of how it should appear)
It appears to me that if I select several TB email msgs in IQ, ie .eml, & export to web page, IQ is able to successfully create an html rendition but only for the first msg selected. So if this is possible I don't know why it would be impossible for IQ & any browser to produce a merged file.

Yup, I understand. I tried them all w & w/o template. I followed your steps & followed Pierre's suggestions. And I appreciate your interest in this problem.
