Hi there.
I’ve searching information about it. And i found that a lot of people had the same problem.
I’ve registered this guy as a lead. Then i try, to send a email with a template where using variables include his name into the mail.
[color=#ff0000]As you can see is created as lead:[/color]

[color=#ff0000]You can see i’m using lead variables:[/color]

[color=#ff0000]And the result mail is:[/color]

What can i do??
More info: I’m using Versión 7.8.3 SugarCRM
