Email Effects is a program for creating artistic, fun and graphical eMails. As eMail messages can only contain plain text, Email Effects uses this medium for drawings and images. Features include :
• Draw text, big "exploded" text, lines, circles and rectangles.
• Pencil, rubber and bucket tools.
• Flip or rotate any selection.
• Paste any picture straight into Email Effects, and it is converted automatically to characters.
• One click takes your design directly into Qualcomm Eudora or Claris Emailer.
• Opens and saves regular text files.
What do I need to run Email Effects ?
• Requires System 7.x, supports drag and drop (included with System 7.5).
• Contains 680x0 and PowerPC native code.
How do I get more help ?
There are two sources of help within Email Effects. Firstly, there is the Help dialog box, which can be viewed by clicking Help in the initial about box. Some of this information contained is duplicated there. The second source is Active Help, displayed at the bottom of the toolbar, which gives details about the area under the mouse.
How does payment work?
Email Effects is a shareware program, meaning that anyone who uses it is obliged to register by sending payment to the author.
Unfortunately, this rarely happens - it is estimated that only 4% of shareware users pay their fee. Therefore, Email Effects contains a “disabling” mechanism - until it is registered, anything copied, dragged, saved, or directly sent from the program will be clipped to a width of 40 characters, and the remaining area will contain a reminder about registering. This disabled version still enables a comprehensive evaluation to be performed.
The current single-CPU license price of Email Effects is $10. For bulk license pricing or other queries, please contact Sig Software for reasonable rates.
Payment is carried out either with the enclosed Register Email Effects program, or using a page on the World Wide Web. Payment may be made by cash, cheque, VISA, MasterCard, American Express or First Virtual.
To purchase a registration on the World Wide Web :
• Click on Purchase via Web in the about dialog box or go to http://order.kagi.com/?BX
• Wait for the Web browser to load up the page.
• Enter name, address and eMail details into the fields provided.
• Follow the rest of the instructions on the Web page.
To purchase a registration using the register program :

Email the registration purchase by copying the details to an eMail message (click Copy), and send to sales@kagi.com.

Please be patient, as eMailed registrations may take up to 3 days for processing, and faxes and postal mail may take up to 8 days.
Once payment has been processed, a user name and code number will be sent via eMail. Multiple-license registrations will include the number of licenses purchased. The name and code received must be entered exactly as shown into the “Enter Registration…” dialog box. Email Effects will be registered, and the “Register Email Effects” program may be discarded.
