Christmas Stationery for Mail.app

Thursday, November 5th, 2009

Festivestationeryequinux, purveyors of fine HTML stationary for Mail.app, has released a new collection of Christmas stationery templates in plenty of time for the festive season.

“Season’s Greetings Vol. 2″ contains templates offering Christmas greetings, invitations, wishlists for your kids to send to Santa, templates for one of those much-loved “annual news-roundup” emails.

Kwanzaa and Hanukkah are not forgotten. Templates are included for those festivals too.

For those not in the know, Apple Mail’s stationery feature allows the app to send pre-made HTML emails, often quite fancy. Many of the equinux templates allow for customization by the insertion of your own photos and user-definable fonts:

The pack costs €7,95 (c. USD 11.80) and is available from equinux’s web site where you can also see the company’s other stationery packs.

If you are keen on this kind of thing, and know that your friends don’t mind receiving them, but you don’t want to shell out money for the option, you will find some freeware seasonal stationery templates listed in the following, previous Hawk Wings posts:

1. Plugin List adds 122 Leopard Mail Templates.

Getting festive in Apple Mail

Thursday, December 1st, 2005

FatherChristmasChristmas for Mac users means seasonal eye-candy.

TUAW has posted about Sn?ɬ? (a snow storm on your Desktop), MacLampsX (Christmas light for your Desktop) and Christmas icons at the Icon Factory.

Mail.app can easily join the party.

Changing Apple Mail’s Dock icon is easy. There are lots of different stamps for Mail.app, but you are not restricted to those.

You could use one of the icons from the Icon Factory, or a Christmas icon from ResExcellence or one of the Classic Christmas icons from Apple’s OS X Downloads.

For me, Christmas in recent years as meant (amongst other things) another instalment of the Lord of the Rings. So my Mail.app is looking like Isildur’s Account (from the LOTR icon set):

Mail_LOTR

We will have to make do with Narnia this year, a fable not an epic. Oh, well.
