Specify E-Mail Alternate Body Text Line

$email_alttext "text"


This command specifies one of the lines of text that is to form an alternate body for the e-mail message. The e-mail is built as a MIME message with Content-Type multipart/alternative.

The default macro-expansion character on all $email... commands is an ASCII grave accent character (`). The text is processed in the same way as a CopiaFacts cover sheet with macro-expansion of '`' variables. The expansion of variables may be suppressed by $email_options "nomacro".

The text is assumed to be encoded as ISO-8859-1 unless this has been overridden with $email_charset. The text is scanned for characters not in the ASCII character set, and if any are found the file will be encoded 'quoted-printable'. Otherwise the text will be sent as 'us-ascii' with 7bit encoding. This processing may be modified by the options specified on an $email_options command.

The parameter on this command is used as follows:

text The text to be used to create an alternate body. Each command specifies one line of source text.

The $email_alttext and $email_altbody commands can be mixed in the same FS file and the alternate body text will be built from lines and files in the order they are specified.

The content type will be set to text/plain unless a string <html is detected in the first three lines of text, in which case it will be set to text/html.

Default: no alternate message body is included

Positional Requirements: must follow an $email_body command or an $email_text command.

Example:

$email_alttext "Message text"
