    Okay, I finally figured it out! "getAttribute" works only with native web objects! I used "contentText" and resulted blank log!!

     

    Replaced contentText with innerText and it worked! Lesson learned!

     

    Thank you Shankar and Karthik for your efforts. I really appreciate.

I guess the mail format may have changed in the cell level.

 

So, Put a breakpoint in the below line and share us what you got. So that we will get know whether it is related to object or someother things.

 

Log.Message(massageString);

      Hi Dave,

       

      Thank you for the case update.

      Out of curiosity: doesn't just

      var massageString = massageCell.contentText;

      work ?

       

      P.S. 'massageString' - I like this typo ;)

        Hi Alex

         

        Thanks for your thoughts. I am happy to say it actually does work! I love the simplicity of it. :D

         

        Also, I will be the first to admit, I am a spelling genius! LOL
