Adding WYSIWYG to webform email template field

Question

I want to enable the WYSIWYG editor so I can create HTML mail from webform email templates. (Yes, I know some people don't like HTML in emails.) I have created a module, and I'm using this code:

function mymodulename_form_alter(&$element, &$form_state, $context) {
  if (isset($element['template']['template'])) {
    $element['template']['template']['#wysiwyg'] = true;
    $element['template']['template']['#type'] = 'text_format';
  }
}

This is great, and the WYSIWYG is enabled. Unfortunately it changes the values from a string to an array, and I can't figure out how to convert them back again. I was hoping this would help, but hook_field_attach_presave() doesn't seem to fire for that form. In fact, I can't find any hooks that fire for that form.

Any suggestions?

HTML emails have a different standard than WYSIWYG editors. For example HTML emails use tables instead of divs, you can't use paddings etc.

So I don't think that HMLT email creating with WYSIWYG editor is a good idea...

Thanks for your message. That helped me finding a solution! Here it is.

dd_fixes is the name of my module.

function dd_fixes_form_webform_email_edit_form_alter(&$form, &$form_state, $form_id) {
    $form['template']['template']["#wysiwyg"] = true;
    $form['template']['template']['#type'] = 'text_format';
    $form['template']['template']['#format'] = 'full_html';

    $new = array("dd_fixes_webform_email_edit_form_submit");
    $form["#submit"] = array_merge($new,$form["#submit"]);
} 

function dd_fixes_webform_email_edit_form_submit($form, &$form_state) {
    $form_state['values']['template'] = $form_state['values']['template']['value'];
}

There is a separate module for that: Webform Email Input Filter.
