Using tags in html

I have created an html version of my mail and would like to customize it with the MaxMail tags. eg: [firstname] Is this possible? It didn't seem to work when I tried.

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated

Yes it works. Just write your tags inside the HTML code.

I tried that: This is what I did:
<span class="body-chardark"> Hi [Firstname], The moment we've all been waiting for is finally here. <span class="body-chardark1">

Am I doing something wrong?

It is correct and it should work. Is the MaxBulk 'Singly' option checked?

Yes it was.

and it doesn't work? is Test mode unchecked? Format set to 'HTML only' or 'Text/HTML'? Do you have at least one entry in your list?

Test mode was un-checked but I am using text/html mode. I have over 100 entries in my list.

I am such an idiot. I don't know what I was doing wrong but I just did a test and it now works. Thanks for stirring up the cob webs. Sorry about that.
