Visualforce email not delivering

Hi

I've created a Visualforce email template in a sandbox, but when testing via the "Send Test and Verify Merge Fields" I don't receive the email despite checking the "Send email preview to:" and entering my email address.

The merge fields work correctly in the preview pane.

Dear Karen,
 
Below is a list of criteria related to the Insight Brief: {!relatedTo.name}

Job: {!relatedTo.Job__c}


[ Criteria ] - [ Options ] - [ Note ]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

<apex:repeat var="cx" value="{!relatedTo.Criteria__r}">
[ {!cx.Name} ] - [ {!cx.Options__c} ] - [ {!cx.Note__c} ]
</apex:repeat>

</messaging:plainTextEmailBody>       
        
</messaging:emailTemplate>

Am I missing something obvious?

Thanks

Formula that Returns First Sentence of Long Text Field

Hi. Apparently long text fields are not supported in list views or formulas.

Error: You referenced an unsupported field type called "Long Text Area" using the following field: Description

I'm trying to develop a formula that will display the first sentence from a long text field.
I thought that I could use a FIND function to locate the first period, then return the text before that.
But, the long text field that I'm looking for is not shown as a field that I can insert. (I want to use Lead > Description) So, I just typed it in.

Some of my users have leads that are the same except for the description, and I'm trying to figure out a better way for distinguishing them from a list view. Otherwise they look like dupes. I don't want to add an extra custom text field that they have to enter.

Thoughts on how to resolve? Alternatives? Thanks in advance.
