E-mail template settings

Here you can determine where the e-mailtemplate must be available. The most entities (Contact/Candidate/Principal/...) are obvious. Though a few remarks:
Activities: The template is available at E-mail, Tasks, Meeting and Notes
Contact (Campaign)/ Candidate (Campaign): The template is available for sending the e-mail of campaigns, see Mailing with Campaigns.
Phase: the template is available with matches of certain phases. In this case you have to perform an extra step with every phase where the template must be visible.
Match: the template is visible with every match, unregarded the phase. This option is only available for a multi-record file template: Within a list of matches the phase can change.
Using HTML
If the checkbox HTML in the e-mail template is checked, then the content must be a HTML code. You (or your web developer) should take care of the HTML lay-out code.
Examples of HTML layout code:
<p>...</p> Paragraph: Part between the code is a different paragraph: At the end of the line the rule stops and is often followed by an emply line
<br/> Break: Stops the line, but no white line.
<b>...</b> Bold: The text between the code will be bold
<i>...</i> Italic: The text between the code will be italic
<a href="http://www.myname.nl">website</a> hyperlink: the word website will be a link to the corresponding address
<img src="http://www.myname.nl/images/myimage.jpg"> image: The image that is located on the corresponding location will be shown
For more HTML codes and explanation there are many websites, like:
Fill in mandatory: Braces
In order to avoid that the sender forget to fill in information:
Place the text between braces {{the text}}. An e-mail with text between the braces cannot be send. After clicking on Send, the system shows the text between the braces and report that this text need to be replaced.
If par example the date is not jet known when making the template, you insert this: {{datum}}. When the message is send to more than one receiver things change a little. In the e-mail screen an extra button appears:[Edit}. Click this button to edit the text between braces.

Outlook
The answer to you receive could contain a large letter. This is because Outlook takes the by you configured letter size. After occasion of what Outlook can find, Outlook shows the text in the anser according to self chosen letter size:
<FONT face=arial size=3>Een antwoord tekst.</FONT>
You can solve this problem by using the e-mail template in the next font style;
font-size: 10pt;
Outlook will skip the configuration of the style (by choosing the previous style), like this:
<FONT face=arial>An answer text.</FONT>
Every text will still be provided with an FONT element but the attribuut size is not shown.
