Enhanced Email gives you and your users a ton of email functionality
to better drive your business processes, including the ability to relate emails to other
records, add custom fields to emails, use triggers with emails, modify the email layout, and

With Enhanced Email, emails in Salesforce are saved as EmailMessage records instead of Task
records. EmailMessage is a standard Salesforce object, and that’s how you get all of these
great new email features.
Note With Enhanced Email, for backwards compatibility, we still create a Task record for each
email message. However, when you view emails in Salesforce, you see the Email Message record for the
email. That’s a good thing, because now emails display in their original format. So, HTML
emails show the HTML format, and plain text emails show plain text format. To see the full
contents, click the email subject. That’s what your users expect.
In the activity timeline,
expanded emails are shown as a text-only preview, with paragraphs and line breaks in the
same place. To see the full contents, click the email subject.
