Probably will give them an html layout. Use multipart with plain text for mutt users if it's not too hard.

Use the bootstrap-mailer gem to produce email compatible html because that is very hard apparently. I'm not certain all these emails are actually used but I've updated them all anyhow. Should aim to review the devise config and maybe test the account locking, the change email address, and the change password mechanism soon to confirm it all works and to see how the emails look in the real world. Closes #3 (...which is currently the oldest open issue, created in Jan 2021)

Up until now we were using the standard default devise emails which are very generic and very plain. Prettify and rework the emails sent by devise, including signup confirmation, password reset, and a few of others. Include some branding and improved wording. Uses the bootstrap-mailer gem to produce email compatible html because that is very hard apparently. Uses haml instead of erb since that's how we like to do it.

Prettify and rework the emails sent by devise, including signup confirmation, password reset, and a few others. Include some branding and improve the text. Up until now we were using the standard default devise emails which are very generic and not very nice. Introduce the bootstrap-mailer gem for generating email client compatible html because that is very hard to do apparently. We'll haml instead of erb for consistency and since that's how we like to do it. Also improve the after_registration page, and include some troubleshooting advice on it. Closes #3

Also improve the after_registration page and include some troubleshooting advice on it. While testing this I learned that the "change email" confirmation email is the same as the signup confirmation, so I added some logic so the wording varies between the two. Closes #3

Prettify and rework the emails sent by devise, including signup confirmation, password reset, and a few others. Include some branding and improve the text. Up until now we were using the standard default devise emails which are very generic and not very good. Introduce the bootstrap-mailer gem for generating email client compatible html because that is very hard to do apparently, and convert the erb to haml. Also improve the after_registration page and include some troubleshooting advice on it. While testing this I learned that the "change email" confirmation email is the same as the signup confirmation, so I added some logic so the wording varies between the two. Also I learned that some of these emails seem to be unused. Will try to confirm that and maybe remove them in future. Closes #3
