Answer 1

You can use "|" after body to define the content.

Main yaml:

steps:
- template: templates/sendEmail.yml
  parameters:
    to: ${{ parameters.to }}
    body: |
      Hi Team, This pull request has encountered errors: 
      $(ERRORMESSAGE) 
      Kindly address these issues and resubmit the pull request. 
      Thank you. 
      Sincerely, 
      [DevOps Team]
    from : ${{ parameters.from }}
    subject : ${{ parameters.subject }}

Template yaml:

parameters:
- name: to  # defaults for any parameters that aren't specified
  default: ''
- name: from
  default: ''
- name: subject
  default: ''
- name: body
  default: ''

steps:
- task: SendEmail@1
  inputs:
    To: ${{ parameters.to }}
    From: ${{ parameters.from }}
    Subject: ${{ parameters.subject }}
    Body: ${{ parameters.body }}
