Paragraphs

Paragraphs are re-usable components or parts of an email message.  In PoliteMail, Paragraphs can include text, links, and even images.  By saving a Paragraph, you can easily pull them into new messages without having to retype the content.

Saving a Paragraph

  1. Open the PoliteMail Builder, click the Ξ button, and select Paragraph.  
  2. Click the + New button.  A window will appear for you to enter your Paragraph, then click Save.
  3. The Paragraph will be saved and appear in the Paragraphs drop down menu. The name will appear as the first few words in the saved paragraph.
    • You can rename or delete the saved Paragraph from the Content menu, within the PoliteMail main tab:

      1. From the Content drop down menu choose Paragraphs
      2. Select the Paragraph by clicking on it. This will open the Edit window (for v4.9, click Edit on the right)
      3. Rename the Paragraph as you would like it to appear in the message Paragraph drop down.

Inserting a Paragraph

To insert your new paragraph, place your cursor where you want the paragraph to go, and use either the PoliteMail Builder or the Paragraphs button.

Editing a Paragraph
