HTML Template?

more options

Hello guys! I coded a HTML-eMail-Template as a simple HTML-File. I coded CSS inside the file and used tables to design the site.

Now I have a simple(?) question? How I can use this HTML-Template as an eMail-Template with all pictures and CSS?

Regrads, Grussler

Try this: open a new Write window as if you are creating an HTML message, then Insert/HTML... and paste your code, then save as a template.

There is also an add-on with more-sophisticated template and html-coding options:

Hey! Thanks for your answer, bit I have now the Problem, that I have red boxes in my Mail, some CSS didn't showed up and I can't send it.

Btw, I imported the file via the Plugin... A Screenshot is attached!

Where was the CSS? If it was in the <head> section, you may need to move it into the <body>.

I'm pretty sure the dotted red lines indicate table cells and are just for your reference in composing -- those are not borders that will be displayed in the received message.

When you say you can't send it... what happens when you try to send it? (To yourself, presumably, until it's all worked out.)

I moved in the Body-Tag, didn't work.

And I can't send it, because the Send-Button is disabled...

Regrads,

I don't have Thunderbird on this computer so I can't test... Is the Send button enabled if you type something first (asdf or whatever) and then after that insert the HTML? Wondering whether there is something oddly corrupting about doing the insert before the body has any content.
