Nylas-mail: Feature Request: HTML Composer

[manicmarvin]

Feature Request

A HTML composer that enables users to send responsive, _designed_ emails (like Foundation Ink) would be the perfect complement to the Mail Merge plugin.

Does this feature exist in another mail client or tool you use?

Such a composer exists in Airmail. In fact, the _only_ reason I am unable to let go of Airmail completely is the HTML composer.

Hey! Could you post a screenshot of the airmail HTML composer you're a fan of?

While I love the HTML composer in Airmail, I only love it because it's the only mac mail app with a HTML composer. I use Atom and copy the rendered HTML into messages in other apps like N1.

However, Airmail's composer is far _far_ from lovely. It involves massive amounts of horizontal scrolling, an inability to automatically soft wrap and 'beautify' the code making it hard to read+code, and for long complex marketing emails I often need syntax highlighting. But an email app shouldn't really have to be bundled with a full blown code editor too, right?

I'm thinking a button that just allows me to open my email in my favorite composer, and perhaps also a basic HTML composer, would cater to the widest audience and be the lightest to implement? What say?

Here's a screenshot of the Airmail composer anyway.

Oh wow - you mean straight HTML composer! Thanks for the screenshot. Technically, it wouldn't be too hard to build this into N1, but we need to finish a few refactors of undo/redo and a few other things to make it possible. Stay tuned,

This makes for fantastic readable code - not sure if its use is widespread enough to justify its inclusion: https://mjml.io/

Although, with both of these being built on node, I thought I'd put it out there as it may be a simple addition to make _crosses fingers_

Just nudging this to see if it's in the roadmap or if it's been shelved?
