Email Markup, Templating, and Formatting Tools

[toBeOfUse]

This codebase currently contains one re-usable email (the "thanks for signing up for our emails" email); it is written in normal CSS and HTML, which then needs to be transformed somewhat so it works in email clients that generally support a subset of CSS and HTML. The transformed version is saved in a second email HTML file.

However, manually taking HTML and running it through a CSS inlining tool like I did is like, slow. We would be better off writing emails with something like mjml (an older, mature emailing markup language) or react-email (a newer, very popular set of React components that can be easily server-side rendered) or vue-email, so they can be automatically translated into email-compatible CSS and HTML. Using either of those last two would also give us templating abilities.

Template layouts with headers/footers/backgrounds could then be created and used for whatever emails are written in the email composer component by staff.
