Usage question

Hey Ben, thanks for the add-in, very much appreciated!
I don't think I get how to use it though 😅

If I write this...

and I click render, I get this as email text:

is there any basic settings I'm missing..?

Also, I get this error when I try to send the email:

Prevent rendering of quoted "reply" content

can not use

https://markout.sierrasoftworks.com/outlook/manifest.xml shows PublicAccessNotPermitted

PublicAccessNotPermitted

The URL https://markout.sierrasoftworks.com/outlook/manifest.xml

Gives a PublicAccessNotPermitted Error.

This is what I get from the website:

This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below.
