Table Of Contents
l
Message: Enter the content of the email message. This may be text or HTML based.
Note that since this is a variable property field, its content is parsed at run-time. If HTML
code is entered or pasted in this box, percent (%) and slash (/) HTML characters must be
doubled, otherwise they will be disregarded.
Note
Different email clients have different support for various features, especially with
HTML emails (see HTML Email challenges in the PlanetPress Connect Online
Help). In most cases, if you want to send your email as an HTML message, your
very first line should start with <html> or <!doctype html>. It should not be any other
character.
PlanetPress Connect has a tool to design HTML email templates: the Designer. To
generate email output from a template you would use the "Create Email Content"
on page593 task.
Also note that it is currently not possible to send both an HTML and plain-text
version of your message.
