How can I preserve Apple Mail stationery?
The best and easiest thing to do is to upgrade to at least Direct Mail 5.3 before you upgrade to macOS 10.14.
If you upgrade to Direct Mail 5.3, it will automatically create a backup copy of Apple Mail stationery that will survive the upgrade to macOS 10.14 and which will be available to you in Direct Mail. After you upgrade to Direct Mail 5.3, you can proceed to upgrade your Mac to macOS 10.14.
Another option is to convert to templates any messages that you are currently using Apple Mail stationery with. Here's how:
- In the Messages tab, select your message
- Choose 'Message > Create Template from Message' from the menu bar at the top of your screen
This will turn the currently selected message into a template that will work properly even after upgrading to macOS 10.14. The template will appear in Direct Mail's template chooser.
