Viewing the Original Email Content of a Conversation Post

Overview

If you want to see the original message from the sender instead of the processed email, you can manually switch between the original email view and the processed email view. The default view is always the processed email view, and this setting can't be changed. You can't set Kayako to display the "original email" by default but you can manually switch between the views.

 

 

Diagnosis

 

By default, Kayako shows you the processed email view when you open a conversation. This view renders the page in a non-HTML format. In the Kayako user interface, you have the option to switch between the processed email view and the original email view.

Kayako shows the "processed email" view by default to ensure that the platform renders the page efficiently. This default setting avoids having to load the entire email content, which usually causes memory leaks and browser issues, every time you open a conversation. Therefore, the default view is always the processed email view as mentioned earlier and this setting can't be changed. However, you can manually switch between the views.
