webversion element

Are you using CampaignMonitor.com?

They explain what <webversion> is for on their site:

Automation and tracking would be the "why".

what is the webversion element in an email tempplate?

if all we need is to have the email seen on a web page, why not just create a web page, and link it with an anchor tag and href?

This is called the maieutic method.

Hi @Az Mm P,

Since your question has nothing to do with Dreamweaver or web standard HTML code, it's hard to say.  And without seeing the code, it's impossible to guess. 

From whom did you obtain the "email template?"  Why don't you ask them what that means?
