I’m looking for a solution to send DRY multipart emails in Rails. With DRY I mean that the content for the mail is only defined once.
I’ve thought about some possible solutions but haven’t found any existing implementations.
The solutions I’ve thought about are:
- load the text from I18n and apply Markdown for the html mail and apply Markdown with a special output type for the text mail where
- links are put in parenthesis after the link text
- bold, italic and other formatting that doesn't make sense are removed
- ordered and unordered lists are maintained
- generate only the html mail and convert that to text according to the above conditions
Is there any available solution out there? Which one is probably the better way to do it?
