Sending emails using HTML format

You can send emails in plain text or in HTML Raw format. HTML Raw format allows you to include:

text formatting such as bold, italic, strikethrough and underline
different fonts, sizes and colours
superscript and subscript text
justification and indentation
bullets and numbering
tables
hyperlinks
images.

There are three tabs to the HTML Raw email editor. Use the:

Design tab to format the email in a "what you see is what you get" editor

HTML tab to write the HTML code by hand

Preview tab to preview what the email looks like before sending.

Note: Not all email applications support HTML tags. Where HTML is unsupported, the email displays the HTML tags as part of the text. To see how your email would look in an email application that doesn't support HTML, click the HTML tab.
