Message header

(optional) If specified, adds this text to the top of every mailing list message. You can specify different headers and rotate through them by using the '[OR]' separator. For example, if you wanted to use one of three different headers on your mailings, you could define your header as:

    Lucky you, another excellent edition of jazztalk coming your way!
    [OR]
    It ain't just talk, it's jazztalk!
    [OR]
    Start your day the jazztalk way!

In the above example, the header that is inserted into the message will be one of the three phrases separated by [OR]. The '[OR]' is on a line by itself for readability; it is not necessary to put '[OR]' on a line by itself.

In addition, the header will get properly inserted inside your HTML or MIME-encoded message, because Lyris List Manager is aware of which type of message you are trying to send.

Note: If the message being sent is HTML formatted email, any < or > characters will be "protected" and converted in < and &rt;. If you do not want this behavior and want your < and > characters to be left intact then you should start your header or footer definition with <HTML>.
