## [HTML Mail](http://drupal.org/project/htmlmail)
|
||||
Lets you theme your messages the same way you theme the rest of your website.
|
||||
|
||||
### [Requirement](http://www.dict.org/bin/Dict?Form=Dict2&Database=*&Query=requirement)
|
||||
|
||||
* [Mail System 7.x-2.x](http://drupal.org/project/mailsystem)
|
||||
|
||||
### [Installation](http://drupal.org/documentation/install/modules-themes/modules-7)
|
||||
|
||||
The following additional modules, while not required, are highly recommended:
|
||||
|
||||
* [Echo](http://drupal.org/project/echo)
|
||||
|
||||
: Wraps your messages in a drupal theme. Now you can "brand" your
|
||||
messages with the same logo, header, fonts, and styles as your website.
|
||||
|
||||
* [Emogrifier](http://drupal.org/project/emogrifier)
|
||||
|
||||
: Converts stylesheets to inline style rules, for consistent display on
|
||||
mobile devices and webmail.
|
||||
|
||||
* [Mail MIME](http://drupal.org/project/mailmime)
|
||||
|
||||
: Provides a text/plain alternative to text/html emails, and automatically
|
||||
converts image references to inline image attachments.
|
||||
|
||||
* [Pathologic](http://drupal.org/project/pathologic)
|
||||
|
||||
: Converts urls from relative to absolute, so clickable links in your
|
||||
email messages work as intended.
|
||||
|
||||
* [Transliteration](http://drupal.org/project/filter_transliteration)
|
||||
|
||||
: Converts non-ASCII characters to their US-ASCII equivalents, such
|
||||
as from Microsoft "smart-quotes" to regular quotes.
|
||||
|
||||
: *Also available as a [patch](http://drupal.org/node/1095278#comment-4219530).*
|
||||
|
||||
### [Updating from previous versions](http://drupal.org/node/250790)
|
||||
|
||||
The [7.x-2.x](http://drupal.org/node/1106064) branch shares 94% of its code
|
||||
with the [6.x-2.x](http://drupal.org/node/1119548) branch, but only 15% of
|
||||
its code with the [7.x-1.x](http://drupal.org/node/355250) branch, and a tiny
|
||||
8% of its code with the [6.x-1.x](http://drupal.org/node/329828) branch.
|
||||
|
||||
Let your compatibility expectations be adjusted accordingly.
|
||||
|
||||
* Check the module dependencies, as they have changed. The latest version of
|
||||
[HTML Mail](http://drupal.org/project/htmlmail) depends on the
|
||||
[Mail System](http://drupal.org/project/mailsystem) module (7.x-2.2 or later)
|
||||
and will not work without it.
|
||||
|
||||
* Run `update.php` *immediately* after uploading new code.
|
||||
|
||||
* The user-interface for adding email header and footer text has been removed.
|
||||
Headers and footers may be added by template files and/or by enabling the
|
||||
[Echo](http://drupal.org/project/echo) module.
|
||||
|
||||
* Any customized filters should be carefully tested, as some of the template
|
||||
variables have changed. Full documentation is provided both on the module
|
||||
configuration page (Click on the <u>Instructions</u> link) and as comments
|
||||
within the `htmlmail.tpl.php` file itself.
|
||||
|
||||
* The following options have been removed from the module settings page. In
|
||||
their place, any combination of
|
||||
[over 200 filter modules](http://drupal.org/project/modules/?filters=type%3Aproject_project%20tid%3A63%20hash%3A1hbejm%20-bs_project_sandbox%3A1%20bs_project_has_releases%3A1)
|
||||
may be used to create an email-specific
|
||||
[text format](http://drupal.org/node/778976)
|
||||
for post-template filtering.
|
||||
|
||||
* [Line break converter](http://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/modules--filter--filter.module/function/_filter_autop/7)
|
||||
* [URL Filter](http://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/modules--filter--filter.module/function/_filter_url/7)
|
||||
* [Relative Path to Absolute URLs](http://drupal.org/project/rel_to_abs)
|
||||
* [Emogrifier](http://www.pelagodesign.com/sidecar/emogrifier/)
|
||||
* [Token support](http://drupal.org/project/token)
|
||||
|
||||
* Full MIME handling, including automatic generation of a plaintext
|
||||
alternative part and conversion of image references to inline image
|
||||
attachments, is available simply by enabling the
|
||||
[Mail MIME](http://drupal.org/project/mailmime) module.
|
||||
|
||||
### [Configuration](http://drupal.org/files/images/htmlmail_settings_2.thumbnail.png)
|
||||
|
||||
Visit the [Mail System](http://drupal.org/project/mailsystem) settings page at
|
||||
<u>admin/config/system/mailsystem</u>
|
||||
to select which parts of Drupal will use
|
||||
[HTML Mail](http://drupal.org/project/htmlmail)
|
||||
instead of the
|
||||
[default](http://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/modules--system--system.mail.inc/class/DefaultMailSystem/7)
|
||||
[mail system](http://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/includes--mail.inc/function/drupal_mail_system/7).
|
||||
|
||||
Visit the [HTML Mail](http://drupal.org/project/htmlmail) settings page at
|
||||
<u>admin/config/system/htmlmail</u>
|
||||
to select a theme and post-filter for your messages.
|
||||
|
||||
### [Theming](http://drupal.org/documentation/theme)
|
||||
|
||||
The email message text goes through three transformations before sending:
|
||||
|
||||
1. <h3>Template File</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
A template file is applied to your message header, subject, and body text.
|
||||
The default template is the included `htmlmail.tpl.php` file. You may copy
|
||||
this file to your <cite>email theme</cite> directory (selected below), and
|
||||
use it to customize the contents and formatting of your messages. The
|
||||
comments within that file contain complete documentation on its usage.
|
||||
|
||||
2. <h3>Theming</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
You may choose a theme that will hold your templates from Step 1 above. If
|
||||
the [Echo](http://drupal.org/project/echo) module is installed, this theme
|
||||
will also be used to wrap your templated text in a webpage. You use any one
|
||||
of [over 800](http://drupal.org/project/themes) themes to style your
|
||||
messages, or [create your own](http://drupal.org/documentation/theme) for
|
||||
even more power and flexibility.
|
||||
|
||||
3. <h3>Post-filtering</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
You may choose a
|
||||
[text format](http://drupal.org/node/778976)
|
||||
to be used for filtering email messages *after* theming.
|
||||
This allows you to use any combination of
|
||||
[over 200 filter modules](http://drupal.org/project/modules/?filters=type%3Aproject_project%20tid%3A63%20hash%3A1hbejm%20-bs_project_sandbox%3A1%20bs_project_has_releases%3A1)
|
||||
to make final changes to your message before sending.
|
||||
|
||||
Here is a recommended configuration:
|
||||
|
||||
* [Emogrifier](http://drupal.org/project/emogrifier)
|
||||
Converts stylesheets to inline style rules for consistent display on
|
||||
mobile devices and webmail.
|
||||
|
||||
* [Transliteration](http://drupal.org/project/filter_transliteration)
|
||||
Converts non-ASCII text to US-ASCII equivalents. This helps prevent
|
||||
Microsoft "smart-quotes" from appearing as question-marks in
|
||||
Mozilla Thunderbird.
|
||||
|
||||
* [Pathologic](http://drupal.org/project/pathologic)
|
||||
Converts relative URLS to absolute URLS so that clickable links in
|
||||
your message will work as intended.
|
||||
|
||||
### Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
* Check the [online documentation](http://drupal.org/node/1124376),
|
||||
especially the [screenshots](http://drupal.org/node/1124934).
|
||||
|
||||
* There is a special documentation page for
|
||||
[Using HTML Mail together with SMTP Authentication Support](http://drupal.org/node/1200142).
|
||||
|
||||
* [Simplenews](http://drupal.org/project/simplenews) users attempting advanced
|
||||
theming should read [this page](http://drupal.org/node/1260178).
|
||||
|
||||
* Double-check the [Mail System](http://drupal.org/project/mailsystem)
|
||||
module settings and and make sure you selected
|
||||
<u><code>HTMLMailSystem</code></u> for your
|
||||
<u>Site-wide default mail system</u>.
|
||||
|
||||
* Try selecting the <u><code>[ ]</code> *(Optional)* Debug</u> checkbox
|
||||
at the [HTML Mail](http://drupal.org/project/htmlmail) module
|
||||
settings page and re-sending your message.
|
||||
|
||||
* Clear your cache after changing any <u><code>.tpl.php</code></u>
|
||||
files.
|
||||
|
||||
* If you use a post-filter, make sure your filter settings page looks like
|
||||
[this](http://drupal.org/node/1130960).
|
||||
|
||||
* Visit the [issue queue](http://drupal.org/project/issues/htmlmail)
|
||||
for support and feature requests.
