All users need to exit AutoMail

Navigate to the IRIS data folder, then the notes folder.

Create a new folder and move the 3 files with the extension .sup to this newly created sub folder.

Open AutoMail, and the template checker will run

Once this is complete, generate the same letter, the problem should now be resolved as the links have been updated.
