Symptoms

After migrating from PeopleTools (PT) 8.59.15 to 8.59.17, when an email notification is sent with Rich Text Format and with message formatting using colored font, it doesn't reflect the same color in the email text. Other formatting like the underline, boldface, and italics are working fine both in 8.59.17 and 8.59.15.
