<introEmbed body={<> According to Sydney Morning Herald's "[Flame emails missing the mark](https://www.smh.com.au/national/flame-emails-missing-the-mark-20060216-gdmze2.html)": > "The senders of email messages expected their partners to correctly interpret their tone nearly 80% of the time, but in fact, they only scored just over 50%... Those attempting to interpret the message believed they had scored 90% accuracy". </>} /> Because there is no "tone of voice" in an email, sarcasm can easily be misinterpreted by the receiver. You can use a smiley face or emoji to soften it up a bit. <emailEmbed from="" to="John" cc="" bcc="" subject="Keeping our office clean" body={<> ## John Make sure your office is clean when clients come in - you might scare them away with all that mess. </>} figureEmbed={{ preset: "badExample", figure: "Example", shouldDisplay: false }} /> <emailEmbed from="" to="John" cc="" bcc="" subject="Keeping our office clean" body={<> ## Hey John Make sure your office is clean when clients come in - you might scare them away with all that mess :) </>} figureEmbed={{ preset: "goodExample", figure: "Example", shouldDisplay: false }} />
