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 ?
･ System 7.x, also supports drag and drop, included with System 7.5 and above.
･ 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. There are also tips which appear in the about dialog box.
