Note

It can't be guaranteed that content will look the same in all email clients, particularly

when it comes to older client versions, so it is recommended to always test and

validate the output. See: "Testing Email output" on page975.

The Meta Information group lists all <meta> tags that will be added to the header of the

email. See "Meta information" on page184.

When the option Append plain-text copy of the HTML is checked, a plain-text version of

the HTML is added to each email that is sent. With new templates this option is checked

by default.

Includes tab

This tab lists the style sheets that can be applied to the email section when producing the

output. Style sheets are loaded in the order shown, and styles in later style sheets overwrite

earlier ones when the same selector is used. (See "Includes dialog" on page477 and "Styling

templates with CSS files" on page287.)
