New Subscriber Email

I am trying to send out better-looking (not plain text) emails to subscribers and have added standard, basic html. (This is based on a template that works perfectly with wp better email).

My code starts:
```
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
 <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;UTF-8" />
```
etc.
What is arriving at my inbox seems to be stripped out code, with a background colour that is nowhere to be seen in my html!

Can you help or advise how we can send out a more professional-looking email please.

Can you post a link to a pastebin that has the full HTML code you are using in the email so I can take a look?

Hi Jeremy,

Here’s a link to the original html file: https://github.com/haizdesign/leaky-paywall-email.git

The plugin doesn’t currently support full email templates. It outputs your new subscriber message inside of a body tag within a prebuilt email structure. That’s why you are seeing strange results.

Thanks Jeremy,

Perhaps you could include that as a priority on the roadmap? Offering a full HTML template, or allowing integrations with a plugin like WP Better Emails would definitely make for a more professional-looking email. This is particularly the case when we are asking for people to pay for subscriptions.

As a follow-on item, is there any way to enable an email validation? I saw the video shows a 2 step process but our tests are going straight through without subscribers needing to verify they are using a legitimate address.

We will add it to our list, but this is the first request we’ve had for this feature. I can’t give a time estimate for when it will be released.

Hi Jeremy,

I have stripped the email code right back. It’s now recognising basic   and  tags, but not allowing images or inline styles:
```
<a style="text-decoration: none; text-align: center;" href="http://our.site" target="_blank"><img src="http://path/to/logo.jpg" alt="Site Name" /></a>
 

Hello %firstname%, 
Thanks for subscribing to Site Name 
Please keep your details safe:

Questions & comments, please contact <a style="color: #3d3e40; text-decoration: none;" href="mailto:email@our.site">email@our.site</a>
```
Also, any news on email validation?
