There is a master header/footer in the core module, otherwise you need to customize each one.

Hope this helps!

Update your email templates to have HTML in them and the mailer will send them as HTML.

Hope this helps!

I've not seen that in testing here - are you viewing in a client that will show HTML email by default?

I've just released version 1.2.1 that has been changed to look for an open "html" tag in the message template - i.e.:

<html>
...

If it sees that it will send as an HTML email. I noticed there were a number of "false positives" with version 1.2.0.

Hope this helps!

Again I would be a buyer on a module that used the smarty code to inject the last weeks content on the site into an email template for sending each week. I know it's not on the roadmap but I think it would be a good seller

It will send in text format unless you have:

<html>

At the very top if your message template.

So if you customize the master header template in the core and add tag to it, do you still need to modify all the others?

Which master header are you customizing?

The only "overall" header for the system is:

modules/jrUser/templates/email_overall_header.tpl

You would want to add your html header there.

So, If you add to email_overall_header.tpl, do you still have to add it to all the other templates? Wouldn't the tag automatically be included in all the other templates since they would use that header?

yes - if you add the HTML header to that template, it should be included in ALL emails being sent out.

I don't think that's what he means. I was looking for something similar.

The newsletter module is a good tool, however it's not very good for sending a newsletter based on the site's content.

It would be ideal to be able to send a news letter and have it personalized for the user according to his preferences. For example:

#1 An update of new content of people he follows (feed)- This by itself would be amazing.
#2 Create newsletter based on recommendations based on previous purchases and likes.
#3 Create a newsletter based on most popular or newest content (or really any chart).

Right now you can't really do much with newsletters. They are manually created, static, and not personalized at all.
