Goodday,

We have a lot of processes which ends up sending a PDF by email, through the 'PlanetPress Image' function.

I know I can use simple HTML and CSS for the email message, but I got a few questions about this:

1 - I can't figure out how I can show an embedded image, I don't want host the image on a server, I really want to embed it in the mail itself.

2 - Is there a way to show PP variables inside a CSS div?

3 - Is css fully supported? For example the mail shows the font I want, but ignores the width and height of my div, but on the other hand does listen to the padding and marging parameters.

Basically all I want for now is a pretty signature with the company logo and the employees name (the variable).

Thanks for any suggestions.

Michel,

Just to clarify things here. The HTML support isn't a feature of PlanetPress, it's your email client(such as Outlook) that will read the email's content as HTML, and interprete it accordingly.

You can put anything you want in the body including variable data in the various HTML/CSS fields, PPress won't treat the message any differently if you put HTML or not. Whether the email will actually be read as HTML and display the attached image, and whether it fully supports CSS, all depends on which email client you use, and how you set it up, and it's feature/limitations. (for example, you have a better chance of getting everything fully working if you use Outlook's Inbox rather than Windows Live's Inbox)

Thanks for explaining.
