## Description

NoBS-Mail View – Email Fallback Viewer in Browser provides a reliable fallback solution
for WordPress emails that fail to render properly in email clients. Similar to newsletter
services like Mailchimp, this plugin automatically adds a “View in Browser” link
to all outgoing WordPress emails, ensuring recipients can always read your content.

#### Key Features

 * Automatically adds browser view links to all WordPress emails
 * Stores email content securely for browser access
 * Works with any WordPress email (registration, password reset, WooCommerce orders,
   contact forms, etc.)
 * Lightweight and simple implementation
 * No external dependencies or services

#### Problem Solved

WordPress sends emails using `wp_mail()`, but recipients often face issues:

 * **HTML Corruption**: Email clients strip or modify HTML/CSS, making emails unreadable
 * **Dark Mode Issues**: Emails designed for light backgrounds become illegible 
   in dark mode
 * **Corporate Email Filters**: Company email systems strip HTML for security
 * **Mobile Rendering**: Mobile email clients fail to render complex layouts
 * **Email Client Limitations**: Outlook, Gmail, and others have varying CSS support

This plugin ensures recipients always have a fallback option to view emails in their
browser with proper rendering.

#### Common Use Cases

**E-commerce Scenarios**
 * WooCommerce order confirmations with complex product
tables * Invoice emails with formatted billing information * Shipping notifications
with tracking details

**User Account Emails**
 * Registration confirmation emails with styling * Password
reset emails that need to look professional * Account notification emails with branding

**Form Submissions**
 * Contact form notifications with formatted data * Gravity
Forms/Contact Form 7 submissions * Custom form emails with HTML layouts

**Newsletter & Notifications**
 * Site announcements with images and formatting *
Digest emails with multiple sections * Event notifications with calendar details

**Accessibility & Sharing**
 * Users who prefer browser reading over email clients*
Screen reader users needing better HTML structure * Sharing email content via URL
link * Bookmarking important transactional emails

**Development & Testing**
 * Testing email appearance without sending multiple test
emails * Debugging email rendering issues * Previewing emails across different browsers

### Settings

The plugin adds a settings screen under Settings > NoBS-Mail View with these options:

 * **Enable Email Fallback Viewer**: Turn the browser-view link on/off without deactivating
   the plugin.
 * **Link Position**: Choose whether the link is prepended or appended to the email
   body.
 * **Custom Message**: Customize the link text using the `{email_link}` placeholder(
   HTML tags are not allowed). Default: `Not seeing the email correctly. Use this
   link to read: {email_link}`

#### Does this work with plain text emails?

Yes, the plugin handles both HTML and plain text emails appropriately.

## FAQ

### Does this work with all WordPress emails?

Yes, the plugin hooks into WordPress’s `wp_mail()` function, so it works with emails
from WordPress core, WooCommerce, contact forms, and any other plugin that uses 
the standard WordPress email system.

### How long are email browser versions stored?

Emails are stored indefinitely in WordPress until you delete them from wp-admin 
> Outgoing Emails.

### Does this affect email delivery performance?

No, the plugin adds minimal overhead. Email content is stored efficiently and the
browser view link is a simple text addition.

### Is the browser view secure?

Yes, each email gets a unique token that’s required to view the content. Only recipients
with the link can access the email.

### Can I customize the “View in Browser” link text?

Yes. Use the Custom Message setting to control the text and include the `{email_link}`
placeholder.
