Hey, CyberSmurf, aren't you a moderator?

rmmarsh:
If you are looking into having preformatted email in the FastMail webmail interface, search these forums for "Templates" (or FastMail's help). You can save template email messages than you can then reopen in "Compose", edit and send (and the saved template doesn't change). These can be just templates where you have set some styling and add all content, or they can be almost ready to send email messages where you just change a few items (such as insert a client's name and address and send). These don't work with "reply" or "forward", but in a tabbed browser environment can still be useful for this with a bit of cutting and pasting.

"Stationery" as in attached image used as background is not possible now as it is a particular instance of referencing an attachment that is not yet possible in FastMail's webmail client. Also you should know that there is no gurantee that the recipient would see it, since many recipients would have images turned off while viewing inciming email. It is possible to to include images by hosting them in FastMail's file hosting and then linking to them from the email messages, but this have an even higher chance of not showing in the recipient's mailbox (external images or references turned off). Designing a text based templates with tasteful choices of font/size/color combinations would prbably reach the eyes of more recipients.

Edit: corrected spelling (in boldface).
