Help - Send Sample Email Reports

Dreamflows can format your email reports in any one of the following four ways: 

Desktop/Laptop Text Only

This generates a plain-text email that is suitable for display on a plain-text email viewer like alpine.  This format lacks hyperlinks, colors and neat formatting.  However, it is the most space-efficient, and displays the best on many email viewers.  This snippet shows how alpine renders this kind of report:

Desktop/Laptop HTML Only

This generates an email containing the report encoded in HTML, and is suitable for display on most email viewers.  This format is a space hog, but does feature hyperlinks, colors and neat formatting.  Many mailers will display this format just like the web page, except that email reports don't offer automated links into the bulletin board.  This snippet shows how the Firefox web browser renders it (your emailer may render it differently than this):

Desktop/Laptop Text/HTML

This generates an email containing the report in both plain-text and HTML formats (see Desktop/Laptop Text Only and Desktop/Laptop HTML Only above for snippets).  This is the worst space hog of all, but some mailers will display properly only if both formats are present.  Plus, you may have your own reasons for wanting both formats delivered to you.

Mobile Device HTML Only

This generates an email containing the report in a compact HTML format.  This format is intended for mobile devices (e.g. iPhone or Android), and features hyperlinks, colors and neat formatting.  Most likely you will be interested in this format only if you have a mobile device.  This snippet shows how the Firefox web browser renders it (your emailer may render it differently than this):
