## Symptoms
1313

14-
When users send emails in Dynamics 365 Customer Service, the email preview text may display an error or unintended formatting (e.g., "{ 0 margins ..") instead of a meaningful preview. This issue typically occurs when the email content is primarily an image and no explicit email preview text has been set.
14+
When you send an email in Dynamics 365 Customer Service, the email preview text may display an error or unintended formatting (for example, "{ 0 margins ..") instead of a meaningful preview. This issue typically occurs when the email content is primarily an image and no explicit email preview text has been set.
1515

1616
## Cause
1717

18-
This issue happens because the system automatically uses the email's content as the preview text if no explicit preview text is configured. When the email content is an image, the system extracts the formatting details of the image, which can result in unintended text being displayed in the email preview.
19-
20-
## Solution
21-
22-
To resolve this issue and prevent unintended formatting messages from appearing in the email preview text:
23-
24-
1. Navigate to the email template in Dynamics 365 Customer Service.
25-
2. Open the specific email template that contains an image as the primary content.
26-
3. Locate the **Email Preview Text** field (this field may also be referred to as "Snippet Text" in some versions of Dynamics 365).
27-
4. Enter a simple, meaningful text in the **Email Preview Text** field that represents the content of the email (e.g., "Check out our latest updates!" or "Special offer just for you").
28-
5. Save the changes to the email template.
29-
6. Test the email by sending it to ensure the preview text displays correctly.
30-
31-
By explicitly setting the **Email Preview Text**, you can avoid the system defaulting to the extracted formatting of the email content.
32-
33-
### Additional Tips
18+
This issue occurs because the system automatically uses the email's content as the preview text if no explicit preview text is configured. When the email content is an image, the system extracts the formatting details of the image, resulting in unintended text being displayed in the email preview.
3419

35-
- Ensure that the preview text is concise and provides a clear summary of the email content to improve user engagement.
36-
- Review all email templates that use images as their primary content and verify that appropriate preview text is configured.

## Solution 2: Address issues with email tracking tokens
38+
When you send emails from Dynamics 365 Sales using templates, the system automatically adds a random tracking code (formatted as CRM:nnnnn) to the subject line of the email. Additionally, instead of sending the email to all the intended recipients in the selected list, it only sends the email to the first contact on that list.
39+
40+
### Cause
41+
42+
The arbitrary code appended to the email subject line and emails being sent only to the first contact is caused by the email tracking token setting being enabled.
43+
44+
### Resolution
