{ts}You can choose to send BOTH an HTML and a plain TEXT version of your mailing, OR you can send a TEXT version only.{/ts}

{ts}If you create only an HTML version, CiviMail will automatically create a TEXT version for your recipients who have chosen NOT to receive HTML email.{/ts}

{ts}Required Elements{/ts}

{ts}CiviMail email messages must include an opt-out link ("Opt out via web page"), and the postal address of your organization. These elements help reduce the chances of your email being categorized as SPAM. They can be included in the main message body OR in a re-usable message footer. Refer to the online documentation for details on how to include required links and contact information as well as sample messages.{/ts} {docURL page="Sample CiviMail Messages" resource="wiki"}

{/htxt} {htxt id="upload-compose-title"} {ts}Upload or Compose On-screen{/ts} {/htxt} {htxt id="upload-compose"}

{ts}You can use your favorite editor to create content on your local computer and then Upload the files. OR you can Compose content directly on the screen.{/ts}

{ts}If you choose to compose on the screen, a basic WYSIWYG (what-you-see-is-what-you-get) editor is provided which you can use create simple HTML messages. However, if you are planning on creating HTML messages with complex layouts, it is best to use an HTML editor on your local computer. Then locate and upload the saved file(s) by clicking the Browse button.{/ts}

{/htxt} {htxt id="id-message-text-title"} {ts}Text Message{/ts} {/htxt} {htxt id="id-message-text"}

{ts}You can send your email as a simple text-only message, as an HTML formatted message, or both. Text-only messages are sufficient for most email communication, and some recipients may prefer not to receive HTML formatted messages.{/ts}

{ts}HTML messages have more visual impact, allow you to include images, and may be more readable if you are including links to website pages. However, different email programs may interpret HTML formats differently, so use this option cautiously unless you have a template format that has been tested with different web and desktop email programs.{/ts}
