subject
Give your email a subject. This entry will display in the "subject" line of your email message.

This is the body of your email. Enter either "plain text" or "HTML" depending upon your "content type" setting above.

This is the reason that the editor does not include a WYSIWYG editor built in. WYSIWYG editors are designed for web content, not for e-mail content, so something that may look correct on the web and thus on the WYSIWYG editor, may look entirely different when viewed in an e-mail.
