Placement of signature content
When creating a new template, two fields are automatically inserted:
These fields can be thought of as placeholders for original email content; together they represent the structure of an email 'conversation', where:
Field |
Summary |
{Original Message Above Reply Separator} |
The latest original message |
{Original Message Below Reply Separator} |
The previous message(s) in the 'conversation' |
By default, placeholders are arranged so that signature content is added after the latest reply in the email thread (as shown in the example above). However, you can re-arrange the placeholders to suit your own needs.
Placing signature content at the very end of original messages
To place a signature at the very end of an email message, signature content should be placed below all original message fields, as shown below:

Tips for working with original message fields

When you click on a field, it behaves like a table cell. For a correct selection, you should see the borders of the cell clearly marked:

Formatting original message fields
The way in which original message fields are formatted controls the formatting of the original message. For example, the font type, color, size, etc. applied to the fields will be reflected in email messages. So (for instance) if you want original messages to be formatted in Arial font, you would select these fields and apply the Arial font.
