2.Enter the Subject and Message text into the corresponding text boxes.

HTML-format or Plain Text

You may select emails to be sent in either HTML or Plain Text format.

 

HTML-format

With HTML-format selected, formatting tags, tables and hyperlinks may be typed or pasted into the message box. With this setting, a page may be designed within your favorite WYSIWYG HTML editor. You can then copy the HTML code and paste it into the message box to send newsletters, advertisements, and other notices to customers or affiliates.

 

Note: With this setting, carriage returns within the message box do not generate line breaks and must always be inserted with <br> or <p> tags or the text will all flow together in the resulting e-mail message.

 

Plain text

The Plain text setting does not recognize HTML tags and will render tag text in the e-mail message just as you enter it into the message box. With this setting, carriage returns in the message box generate a line break in the resulting e-mail message as they do in your client e-mail software such as Eudora or Microsoft Outlook.
