Description
I need a bit of help using this module...or maybe just to know what to expect...
I took the source code of my site's home page and send a test mail using that code. It sent HTML formatted text (clickable links) but no site header/image nor are the links formatted as my site's theme is set to.
Is there something you have to do to set all that stuff?
I was also hoping that it would format ALL site emails as HTML but I sent a mail from the Invite Module hoping it would be HTML formatted (and magically have my site's header) but it did nothing (not even format the text).

I think this module just send mails in HTML, the module you are looking for is "print" which offer the option to send node with the CSS.
By the way, I was also hoping this module would format my invitations in HTML.

OK...got it...I was able to, say, edit the 'welcome mail'. I put some HTML tags around some text and it did get sent out in HTML format. Nice...it's a start.
I tried installing the Print module - 'should' it 'automatically' send the site header (base CSS style) with each mail sent (welcome mail, invites)??
Thanks for your help

Would it be useful to have say, header/footer template in admin settings so that emails are reformatted.
#4
yes!

Note that e-mail browsers generally won't display background images - so any css styles in your template that depend upon them won't show.

Added header and footer template in dev version. Please test
