HTML Mail
---------

HTML Mail empowers Drupal with the ability to send emails in HTML, providing
formatting and semantic markup capabilities in e-mail that are not available
with plain text.

This module is very simple in operation. It changes headers in all outgoing
e-mail modifying e-mail sent from Drupal to be HTML with the option of header,
footer and CSS inclusion.

For a full description of the module, visit the project page:
  http://drupal.org/project/htmlmail

Installation
------------

Install as usual, see http://drupal.org/node/70151 for further information.


Theming
-------
E-mails can be themed by copying htmlmail.tpl.php to you active theme's 
directory and editing the contents.

To install the example template, copy htmlmail.tpl.php and html_images/ from the template
folder to your current theme's folder. 

*** Remember clear cached data on performance settings page! ***
admin-> settings -> performance
[Clear Cached Data]

Template suggestions per module allow seperate templates which effect the emails coming from the
particular module. For user module:
eg. htmlmail-user.tpl.php

Creating the above file will override email theming template for email coming from the user module.
You may place the template in your theme's directory but remember that a copy of
the default htmlmail.tpl.php must reside in your theme directory as well for this to work.

Again, clear cache to load the new template.

Important
---------

Remember that many email clients will not be happy with certain code, your 
CSS may conflict with a web-mail providers CSS and HTML in email may expose 
security hazards. Beyond this, if your still really, really must have HTML in 
your email, you may find this module useful.
