Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.I tried sending a page as plain text plus attachment. The email looks like it is formed from the print version of the page, not the normal version. Can I create an email using the normal version?
Print is usually formatted for printers that cannot handle background images. HTML email can handle it. Email sent by the Firefox Send Page By Email addon is exactly what I want. Is there a way to do it with your module?

jcnventuraYou can create a mail from the normal version, but not with this module, as there's a reason why it's bundled with the print module.
However, you can copy the template to print_mail.tpl.php and theme it so that it suits your purposes.
Note that most of the time, when receiving a page by e-mail, the readers won't care about the site navigation blocks and theme, and that's the reason why the mail is created out of the print version. Pay attention to the fact that you can control even less the look-and-feel of the recipients e-mail client (Exchange, Live Mail, Thunderbird, Lotus Notes, Yahoo!, Hotmail, Gmail, etc. etc.), so don't assume anything about the possible styles.. In this particular case don't assume that the background will be displayed and make sure that you don't alter the CSS to make it unreadable on a white background.
