The introduction of E-mail templates simplifies the management and customization of e-mail messages send by PrintShop Maill Web. E-mail templates are HTML documents and are stored on the file system of the PrintShop Mail Web web server. The e-mail templates can be altered using a plain text editor (e.g. Note Pad++).
An e-mail template combines HTML and PHP allowing the administrator to add and remove information from the message. As the templates are using the PHP scripting language custom content conditions can be added by adding local functions that use variables supplied by PrintShop Mail Web.
Templates can be overwritten per skin allowing the look and feel of the message to be changed according to that skin.

The organization inside a skin folder is similar to the default e-mail templates location. The administrator can simply place a copy of the emailtemplates folder in the folder of the skin and start customizing the templates. The iso code used in the folder path is in lowercase.
Below an overview of the possible e-mail template locations, sorted by priority:
