Using e-mail templates
The e-mail message format used for emailing a support case can be set by the user on demand. To do so, a file named Mail.template must be created in the application directory. An alternate path to a template file can be specified using the /MailTemplate start parameter. The character encoding of the file must be set to UTF-8.
The contents of the file can be freely determined by the user. Placeholders are used to insert the information that has been determined, as well as the user entries. The format of the placeholders is as follows:
