Manager – RegMail – Create New Email Content
About RegMail Content:
By default, the RegMail system will first look for HTML-based email content (as specified in the HTML tab of this window) and will attempt to send that version of the content to the people you specify -- mailing list members, event attendees, etc. However, some recipients may have HTML emails blocked either on their computer or by their network. In these cases, RegMail will send the content specified in the Text tab of this window, assuring that as many of your members as possible receive your content in some format.
As such, it is suggested that you create your content in HTML format first. Once that is complete, you can copy/paste the text of that email (not the HTML code) into the Text field for this email.
Field Descriptions:
General tab –
Content Name – The name you would like assigned to this content. This entry displays in the Title column in the list of content in your account.
Subject – The entry here will display in the Subject field when this content is sent. This entry can be modified if needed when the email is sent.
Notes – Any internal notes you’d like to enter about this content. This field is generally used to track dates, changes, etc., and is only visible to you (the account administrators) and not to any email recipients.
HTML tab –
This tab is where the HTML version of the email content is specified.
-
Add your content here by clicking in the large text box and typing, then use the buttons along the top of the window to format the content as needed. Click the far right icon (the popup text reads Switch Mode when you roll over this icon) to see additional formatting buttons.
-
You can also add merge fields to this HTML content, which are instructions to replace a code in the email with actual recipient (or event) information. For example, the merge field for the recipient’s first name will insert the entry in the first name field when the email is sent, so the email reads, e.g., “Dear Susan,”. See the Related Links below for information on adding merge fields to an email.
Text tab –
This tab is where the text version of the email content is specified.
-
Add your content here by clicking in the large text box and typing. By definition, text emails cannot be formatted beyond adding line breaks where needed.

Attachments tab (displays only when files have been attached to this content) –
This tab enables you to work with any attachments that you have added to your content using the Document Manager.
