Table Of Contents

PReS 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500 task.

Also note that it is currently not possible to send both an HTML and plain-text version of your mes-

sage.

Attachments Tab

Use this tab to specify what files to attach to the e-mail.

Attach input job file: Select to attach the current job file to the email that the task sends.

Rename to: Check this option to rename the job file before attaching it to the email, and enter a

name. You may use text, variables and data selections (see "Variable task properties" on

page289).

File: Select additional or more additional files to include as attachments. You may enter the file

name directly and use text, variables and data selections (see "Variable task properties" on

page289). You may also use the Browse button to navigate and select the file. To add the file to

the list of files to attach, click the Add file to Attach list button (the downward pointing arrow).

List of files to attach: Lists the files that will be attached to the email. Selecting the Attach out-

put file(s) option adds these files at the top of the list. Any other file that may have been added

using the File box (above) is also listed here.

To remove a file from the list, select it, then right-click and select Remove from the list.

The fields on this tab are variable property fields, which means the values may change with each job at

run-time. You can use any combination of text, variables and data selections; see "Variable task prop-

erties" on page289.

Enter the sender's name, organization (optional), and email address, and the reply address

(optional). This information will be visible to the recipient of the email.

Enter the address of the outgoing mail server (SMTP), and the port. Note that hovering the

mouse over the Port field will show a list of the most common ports used. The timeout value spe-

cifies (in seconds) after how long the plugin drops the connection and fails with a "Read time out"

error if the server didn't reply anything. Defaults to 30 seconds.

As long as Use an encrypted connection is checked, the plugin will send email messages

using the highest encryption method that is available on the server (SSL 2.0, 2.3 or 3.0 / TLS 1.0,

1.1 or 1.2).
