Adding a text rule

Add a rule that controls the text that will appear in each recipient's
version of a personalized mailer.

Rules are based on information about the recipients in a data source. In
this example, you will use the field Gender in the Darwin jewelry store
data source to define the title (Ms. or Mr.) used in the mailer for each
customer. This title will be defined as a rule, and the result will appear
in the text wherever the Title rule appears.

The rule that you will add is based on the following criteria:

If the customer is a female, the title will be Ms.

If the customer is not a female, the title will be Mr.
