Goal
To display the background color of an email message during message composition.
Background Information
To set the background color for an email message in general, you set the desired color in the <body> tag of the email HTML.
To display this background color also in the Compose Email Message window, you add a specific variable in the framework head and define the same color code.
The message creator can see the background color during email message creation but is unable to change the color.
Changes made to a framework are automatically applied to all email templates that use the framework.
Prerequisites
