Reply to an HTML email message

If the ACD-routed email message you received was formatted using HTML, you have the option of using text formatting tools in your email reply. You can also embed an image or include a hyperlink in your reply. In every other way, replying to an HTML email message is the same as replying to a plain text email message.

Format Text

Tip: Different email clients at your customer sites can interpret line endings differently. To avoid this problem, press Shift+Enter to create a new line. Press Shift+Enter twice to create a blank line between two lines of text. This creates line endings that all email applications can reliably interpret.
