Name	Defines the message name in Mapp Engage. The internal message name helps you find a message elsewhere in the system (for example, in the statistics). The message name is not visible to your contacts. The message name can be edited in the Compose Email Message window. The name is limited to 250 characters. Once you defined a name, the Save button is available. Do not use () (parentheses) in the message name if it will be used in link tracking.
