#62Very nice. I think the kind of folks attracted to this thread might have some thoughts on a workflow I'm interested in. When I see a news article, I want to be able to click a button on my Mac or iPhone to send the text of the article in the body of the email. Bonus points for rehosting the images from the article. And using a similar font both without carrying over any of the original external dependencies. Normally…
Use the browser reader mode, select all, right click send email. Is it something like that you want?
Thank you! Great trick that comes pretty close.

#63Any "HTML emails" get filtered straight into the spam folder here. I think I'm not part of the target audience here.
How do you deal with things like "we sent you a one-time code to confirm your login"? Most of those are HTML-formatted today

#64I like how you aren't hiding the fact this is MJML under the hood and don't layer complex abstractions over MJML spec like similar projects ( cough react email cough ). The devs maintaining MJML deserve so much credit for dealing with Gmail/Outlook's monopoly bullshit and 2007 html. Nice idea for those who manage content in markdown. I've moved away from putting emails in my codebase, but seems great for founders mov…
What’s your opinion on react email?

#65Would love to use this - any plans for Cloudflare Workers support? Some of the node APIs you're using block it from working on Cloudflare right now.
Added support for cloudflare workers in 0.1.2. Thanks for the tip!

#66Which email client will stylize raw markdown itself, making the HTML step here superfluous?
It would first require a standard for Markdown. After that there would be very little stopping anyone from implementing it. I guess a MIME type for standard Markdown would also be nice. Pretty sure I've said it before, but it would be a nice middle ground between text and all the complexity HTML+CSS brings in (if you want to compete with other HTML clients).
The idea of Markdown was that it was supposed to be readable in plain text without any stylizing.

#67Which email client will stylize raw markdown itself, making the HTML step here superfluous?
Emacs ofc :) seriously it should not be too much work although org-mode syntax would be even easier, there is a markdown mode here: https://jblevins.org/projects/markdown-mode/
The email part is not something i have done myself but it has been a feature for a very long time and you can find plenty of guides online.

#68This is great! I’d love to see this supported in SendOps!

#70Or, hear me out. Just send the markdown and skip the HTML bullshit. Any mail client will render markdown fine and the ones that don't either aren't worth using or don't want HTML mail in the first place. HTML email is the worst thing to ever happen to the internet
