equinux Mail Designer 1.3.4 - Manual (Page 26)

Using text placeholders
Mail Designer has the ability to use placeholders for text, so common snip-
pets such as your name or the date can automatically be inserted into your
email text.
Adding text placeholders
Choose “Insert” in the menu bar and choose one of the five available place-
holders: Full Name, First Name, Email, Short Date or Long Date.
Alternatively, you can also right-click and insert a placeholder:
While layout view is enabled, you’ll be shown the text placeholder. Turn off
layout view to see the final text.
You can choose from one of the following placeholders:
Placeholder Inserts
Full Name The sender’s full name as set in the
Address Book
First Name The sender’s first name as set in
Address Book
Email The sender’s email address as set in
Address Book
Short Date Today’s date in short form (e.g.
07.06.2011). The date formatting is
determined by your System
Preferences.
Long Date Today’s date in long form (e.g.
Friday, 15. July 2011). The date
formatting is determined by your
System Preferences.
Once inserted, the placeholder will be automatically replaced once you go
to send your message in Mail:
