Customize entire email template

The bug

Immich allows the sending of email notifications. I am a photographer and use immich to deliver my projects and share albums with other people, friends and family. I use email notifications but wanted to customise the emails to be completely custom made with html code. When pasting html code, the email immich sends shows the email I designed inside the immich field inside immiches default email notification. In other words, immich wraps my designed email inside its own email inside the window in which the “Hey xxx” and so on normally sits. I’d like to have complete control over the way the email looks

Hi! I'd like to work on this issue.

I am planning to investigate the email rendering pipeline and introduce support for standalone custom HTML email templates, allowing users to completely replace the default Immich email layout while preserving the existing template behaviour.

Would this approach be acceptable? I'd be happy to work on the implementation and submit a PR.

Yep, I would love that. Just being able to upload custom html to create completely customized emails would be amazing. Maybe an update to the stock template afterwards would be also good (for example adding an AppStore link button). Maybe even some other email templates to choose from

Hi! I'd also love to contribute to this issue. I saw the proposed approach for standalone custom HTML email templates.

I would be happy to help with a separate part of the implementation, such as the frontend configuration UI, template selection, or testing, if that would be useful.

Please let me know which areas are not yet being worked on so I can avoid duplicating your efforts.
