Email output
The Email context outputs HTML email with embedded formatting to an email client through the
use of an email server. The HTML generated by this context is meant to be compatible with as
many clients and as many devices as possible.
Although the Email context can contain multiple Email templates, only one of them can be
merged with each record. Which one is used, depends on a setting; see "Email output settings
in the Email context and sections" on page953.
Email is sent in a single batch for the whole record set.
To test a template, you can test the scripts (see "Testing scripts" on page387) and send a test
email first (see "Send (Test) Email" on page510), before actually sending the email (see
"Generating Email output" on page952).
Attachments
Output, generated from an Email template, can have the following attachments:
l The contents of the Print context, in the form of a single PDF attachment. (Compression
options for PDF attachments can be specified in the Email context's properties; see
"Compressing PDF attachments" on page171.)
l Other files, an image or a PDF leaflet for example.
Attaching the Print context is one of the options in the "Send (Test) Email" on page510 dialog.
To learn how to attach other files, see "Email attachments" on page182.

Manager" on page964)
