Mailora Email Composer lets you compose and send HTML emails directly from the WordPress admin — without leaving your site, without touching code, and without needing a separate email platform.
Whether you need to send a quick reply to a customer, follow up with a lead, or fire off a formatted HTML message to anyone, Mailora Email Composer makes it simple.

<h4>Important Notice</h4>
To use this plugin successfully:
<ul>
<li>Your website must be able to send transactional emails properly.</li>
<li>Using an SMTP plugin or email delivery service is strongly recommended.</li>
<li>Some hosting providers may block or limit outgoing emails sent through <code>wp_mail()</code>.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Why Mailora Email Composer?</h4>
Most WordPress sites can already send emails through <code>wp_mail()</code>, but there is no built-in interface to compose and send an email from the admin dashboard. Mailora Email Composer fills that gap with a clean, distraction-free compose screen powered by the familiar WordPress TinyMCE editor.
<h4>Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Compose HTML emails from the WordPress admin — no external tool needed</li>
<li>Rich text editor powered by the built-in WordPress TinyMCE toolbar (bold, italic, lists, links, and more)</li>
<li>Sender and recipient fields support both plain <code>email@example.com</code> and <code>Name <email@example.com></code> formats</li>
<li>From address is saved automatically so you don’t retype it every time</li>
<li>Sent email log stored in a dedicated database table — view, search, and delete entries any time</li>
<li>Send Again — pre-fill the compose form from any previous log entry in one click</li>
<li>Secure email viewer — view the full HTML body of any logged email in a sandboxed popup</li>
<li>Client-side search — filter the log instantly by recipient, subject, or body content</li>
<li>Automatic log pruning — keeps only the latest 200 entries to protect database performance</li>
<li>Clean uninstall — removes plugin tables when deleted</li>
<li>Works with <code>wp_mail()</code> — compatible with WP Mail SMTP, Postmark, SendGrid, Mailgun, Amazon SES, and any SMTP plugin</li>
</ul>
<h4>Who Is This For?</h4>
<ul>
<li>Site owners who occasionally need to send a formatted email from their domain</li>
<li>Developers who want a quick way to test outgoing email from a WordPress install</li>
<li>Admins who want to send quick customer emails without leaving WordPress</li>
<li>Anyone who needs a lightweight email composer without building a full CRM</li>
</ul>

Converts the default plain-text email notifications into fully customizable, sweet-lookin’ HTML emails.
Multi-site support (for WordPress 3.0) will be added soon.
Notes:
<ul>
<li>Emails are sent with readable plain-text versions for email clients that don’t support HTML emails. Note: they’re somewhat crude because they’re auto-generated. I may decide to add decent-looking plain-text versions in the future, but that’s low priority.</li>
<li>Emails have only been tested on Gmail, Gmail on Android, and Outlook, but should work on most email clients (including clients without HTML support). If you’re using a client other than the 3 I’ve listed, I would appreciate <a href="mailto:batmoo@gmail.com" rel="nofollow ugc">an email</a> with info on whether the email looks like it should and works correctly.</li>
</ul>
Send your questions, comments, suggestions <a href="mailto:batmoo@gmail.com" rel="nofollow ugc">via email</a>.
<h3>Customizing Templates</h3>
You can fully customize the look of any of the emails by creating your own templates. Emails have two pieces:
<ul>
<li>Email Wrapper (content common across all emails)</li>
<li>Email Message (content unique to each email)</li>
</ul>
Custom templates can be created an placed in either your theme directory or your Content directory (/wp-content/ on most sites). See utils.php for a number of useful functions that you can use in your templates.
Email Wrapper
The Email Wrapper includes elements and markup that are common across all email notifications. It contains your html, head and body tags and any other elements that are shared across emails.
To customize the email template, create a file called <code>html_email.php</code> and add it to either your theme or content directory.
Note: you must include the following code in the template to work:
<pre><code><?php htmlize_message_body($email_templates, $email_data); ?>
</code></pre>
The Email Wrapper has access to the following variables:
<ul>
<li>$email_title: (string) title of the email</li>
<li>$email_subtitle: (string) subtitle of the email</li>
<li>$email_data: (array) Associative array of various data passed by the calling function</li>
</ul>
Email Message: New Comment
By default, new comment and comment moderation emails share the same template. You can create separate templates for both for each comment type by creating the following files:
<ul>
<li><code>notify_postauthor_comment.php</code></li>
<li><code>notify_postauthor_trackback.php</code></li>
<li><code>notify_postauthor_pingback.php</code></li>
<li><code>notify_moderator_comment.php</code></li>
<li><code>notify_moderator_trackback.php</code></li>
<li><code>notify_moderator_pingback.php</code></li>
</ul>
If you don’t want to customize the emails by comment type, just create the following two templates:
<ul>
<li><code>notify_postauthor.php</code></li>
<li><code>notify_moderator.php</code></li>
</ul>
If you just want a custom template shared between the two notification types, just create the following:
<ul>
<li><code>notify_comment.php</code></li>
</ul>
New Comment email messages have the following data variables available:
<ul>
<li>$comment – (obj) comment object</li>
<li>$post – (obj) post object </li>
<li>$comment_type – (string) slug for the comment_type</li>
<li>$comment_type_text – (string) friendly name for the comment_type</li>
<li>$comment_moderate – (bool) Whether the comment needs moderation or not</li>
</ul>
<h3>Using HTML Emails in your plugin</h3>
It’s pretty easy to use. The main call you need to make is htmlize_message() and pass the return into your wp_mail object. Details to come.
