Global Options

To access Global Mail Template Options, you can either click on the Options button in the upper right when the Mail Templates list is open or go to Global Configuration and click on Mail Templates.

Here you set the default options for all Mail Templates.

• Mail Format: HTML, Plaintext, or Both. Note that when Both is selected, the Plaintext Mail Template Editor is presented.
• Per Template Mail Settings: If set to Yes, defers to using template specific Mail options.
• Send Copy: If Enabled, sends (CC) a copy of the message to the the site's default email address unless Per Template Mail Settings is set to Yes and the template-specific options are defined.
• Attachments Folder: Relative path from the site root to the folder containing files to be attached to the message (if the template supports attachments).
• Mail Template Layout: If Enabled, causes the Layout selected below to be used.
• Layout: Select the layout to be used. Typically, just Use Default.
• Logo File: A logo (image) file to be used in the mail message. Can be selectively omitted from individual Mail Templates but not from individual messages. Template-specific logos cannot be selected. If enabled, the logo will appear at the head of the message, centered, followed by a horizontal line.

Other Options

Some Mail Template options depend on settings located elsewhere in various configuration settings. Each subsection below focuses on settings located in the section-specific area of Global Configuration.

Users

Mass Mail Users tab: Allows texts for a subject prefix ({SUBJECTPREFIX} template tag) and a body suffix ({BODYSUFFIX} template tag) to be specified. These tags are only used in the "Users: Mass Mail Users" Mail Template. The content configured here is inserted when these tags are included in the Mass Mail Users template. If these tags are not included in the template, then the configured texts will not be included in messages sent via this feature even though while editing the message (see Editing) these texts will appear left of the Subject field and after the Body field. Don't be fooled!

User Actions Log

Options tab: "Events To Log" determines what actions ({MESSAGE} template tag) end up in the message. This information is only used by the "User Actions Log: Notification Mail" template.
