   2. Optional: Select an Email Template to use, if you have created one
   3. Enter the email Subject (maximum 200 characters)
      • If you want to include the first or last name of your recipient in the subject of your email, you can type in %%1 (first name) or %%2 (last name) as part of your subject or click the [+ FN] or [+ LN] button.
   4. Enter the Body of the message (text only, although you can use a variety of formatting options including tables and use the File Manager to insert images or links to files)
      • If you want to include the first or last name of your recipient in the body of your email, go to “Insert” and select either “First name place holder” or “Last name place holder”. Alternatively, you can type in %%1 (first name) or %%2 (last name).
   5. Optional: If you would like to add Attachments from your computer or from the Document Library, click the applicable [Browse] button
      • If the attachment you want to use has not yet been added to the Document Library, you can add it from here by clicking the [+ Create New Document] button below the list of existing files.
   6. Optional: Select the “Priority” and/or “Read Receipt”
      • These features may not be available on all email providers used by your volunteers, so your recipients may not see a “priority” or a “read receipt”.
   7. Optional: Check “Send me a copy of this message” to have a copy of the email sent to the address associated with your profile. You’ll then be presented with an option to “Include recipient list in my copy”. If you select this, a list of the recipients will appear at the bottom of that message you are copied on. The selection you make will be remembered the next time you return to send an email.
