How to set form field values using Custom Functions?
Hi, I have about 10 fields to be calculated in a form which uses several input fields. I would like to refresh the calculations "on field input" of input fields. As formula fields can't be used in another formula field, I had to go for workflow actions. I would like to write the calculations once and reuse it for all the actions.

Sending both HTML and Plain Text versions (MIME) with SendMail command
It's pretty standard if you're sending an email in HTML to also send a plain text version. The SendMail command doesn't seem to be doing this.

The other option, which is sending text-only emails seems to be the only fool-proof way, but then your business looks budget. I don't want to use a third party transactional email service
