Adding an email template for apple mac mail.app

Here is how to import and use your own html template in the apple mac mail.app.

NOTE: This is based on Mac OS 10.6 so unsure about earlier versions of Mac OS.

1. First create a html email file using something like Dreamweaver. Good examples can be found at mailchimp as a starter.

2. Preview in safari pressing command + i

3. The mac mail.app should now open automatically creating your email template preview. Simply go to the menu File->Save as Stationary.

Now when you create a New Message and go to the Show Stationary button on the right of the message, your template should appear. It will be listed under Custom.
