The message of the email that is to be sent. If you wish to send an HTML
formatted email message to the recipients of this email, the HTML will
be put in this field. Remember to use absolute URLs for any images, CSS
files, javascript files, or links. This is a required field.
How the email’s message should be formatted. Options include:
- Plain Text: The message will be sent as plain, unformatted text.
- Markdown: The message will be converted from Markdown to HTML before being sent.
- HTML: The message will be sent in HTML format and will be
rendered in compatible email applications. You must submit your
email as a complete HTML document if you choose this format. Note
that not all email applications will correctly display HTML formatted
emails, HTML emails are more likely to be flagged as spam, and that
many people prefer not to receive such emails.
Note
If you choose to send your email in the HTML Format, an
optional field will appear allowing you specify a Plain Text
Alternative to the HTML email. This allows email clients who have
HTML email disabled or unavailable to still view the email in a form
that is still easily readable, opposed to be the original HTML email
with all tags stripped.
If word wrapping is on, the content of your message will automatically
be given line breaks to insure that each line’s length does not exceed a
certain number of characters. Email programs that do not automatically
wrap lines or insert their own line breaks will then be able to better
view emails. 72 characters per line is considered the email standard.
Note
Word wrapping affects only plain text emails.
The email address of the recipient. When sending to multiple addresses,
please separate each address with a comma (ex: joe@example.com,
fred@example.com). If you are sending this email to a member group or
mailing list (see below), then you may leave this field blank.
However, you may also fill it out and thus include more emails than just
the ones in the member group or mailing list. Before sending the email,
the program will check and remove all duplicate email addresses to
ensure that multiple emails are not sent to the same user.
