Removing of email footer

Hi, we have an odd problem when someone emails to out KBOX, strange characters are appended to the message. KACE say its a "bug" and we should upgrade to the latest software version, our software support company say its to do with Exchange. Either way can we setup an autosave email trigger to strip the email signature from the appended message.
Below is an example of the message.

There is no formatting and the strange characters are " " which makes reading of the message difficult.

Does anybody have any idea how to get around this issue?

is the HTML code for a space. Your signature is html and when it gets converted to plain text that is the fallout. You could have a rule that attempts to remove it but it would be difficult since a sig might be in the middle of an email thread. Although email threads are undesirable in tickets anyway.

Personally I have a different sig for replies versus new emails.

To use a rule would be something that would update the COMMENT of the change using SUBSTRING or SUBSTRING_INDEX sql functions.

Dave,

When you edited the template, did you edit it directly in place via your browser, or with an external application suck as MS Word? If you used an external application, I would start there.

Copy the text from the browser into a plain text editor, such as notepad, which should strip out odd characters.

HTH
