I am going crazy in making a welcome eMail in Drupal.

What I want is sending a nicely formatted eMail using HTML and CSS. I do not need to send an eMail to user except a welcome eMail after user registration, that's all.

I've tested my code in eMail field in the "Home » Administration » Configuration » People" page, but it does not accept CSS code.

HTML email and mail system modules are so sophisticated that I could not use theme.

Anybody a solution for this?

With some experience in that field I must say designing 'nice' html mail templates can be difficult – no matter what system you use to actually send your mail. The reason for this is that there are quite many different email clients – from full blown local desktop computer programms to mobile apps on smart phones and feature phones – and a virtally countless number of online services –– all behaving slightly different. Some email clients do accept css3, some don't interprete css at all, some only accept inline css.

So I suppose you probably either have to start digging into that – or use the methods that are rather 'safe' to use as offered by various services and/or modules.

The MimeMail module is pretty good with this. Try that and use the table here to reference what syntax/tags are available for the best cross-client support.

  • Well, if you're not using any of the other answers, why do you say "Thanks"? Doing so are a sure way to confuse reviewers.

  • @shekoufeh Can you elaborate on why/how DS was needed here? Right now, this answer won't really help future readers.

  • sure! I used html email and DS module. in html email I choose display suit code as Post-filtering under step 3. then I wrote my email text with html and inline css in admin/config/people/accounts! that was all.
