I must have misunderstood your reply because surely you can't have stumbled over this if you've already solved your original issue? Anyway, just in case...

You could hard-code the template to send its message to a particular e-mail address:

     set To = "joe@example.com"

Or you can have the template ask you for the To address:

     string sendingto "" "Enter the recipient's e-mail address:" 0 Address
     set To = "~vsendingto~"

Or, if the template is for a reply, you could have it send to the sender of the original message.

I want to create a template for a new email. I am going to order 5 items. say

item 1 is "red or green or " " (nothing)

item 2 is purple or blue or " " (nothing)

etc etc

My finished template will offer the user variable "item 1" and will allow the slected variable to be either red or green or neither - a blank which would then be in the resultant template..

I've been struggling for weeks with this - Grateful thanks to anyone who would send me a template.

There used to be a finished template that one could 'doctor' which could be doctored to fit the bill!

regards and thanks

Do you mean that you want the items in the list to have their text coloured as you describe? Or do you perhaps mean that "Item 1" should be listed beside the chosen colour option?

e.g.

Item1      Red

Item2      Purple

I don't think that text can be coloured via a template - though I may be wrong - but the example above is, I think, quite feasible.

Sorry no - nothing about colour. I used that as an example - Its for re-ordering tablets (I take quite a lot!) I've got it to work with the exception of automatically entering the email address.
