Hello,

I'm creating an email template for a client that uses CiviMail to send out newsletters. Best practice for email newsletters includes having some style in the <head> element of the HTML email for clients that read it. Using the WYSIWYG editor (tinyMCE) in the Message Templates area of CiviCRM, how do I get <head> elements to pass through?

I'm almost 100% positive that its TinyMCE that is stripping the tags, not CiviCRM. To that end, how do I adjust the tinymce.init settings that CiviCRM must write out somewhere? I think I even found the place where these are output, on Drupal + CiviCRM 4.3.5 it's at civicrm/packages/HTML/QuickForm/tinymce.php in HTML_QuickForm_TinyMCE::toHTML() line 148. At the end, it looks like whoever built this left in a stub for putting custom TinyMCE settings: $this->getConfigString(). How do I use that? Hoping I don't have to patch this.

Thanks,
Matt

An alternative :

Put this :

<html>
<head> </head>
<body>

in the CiviCRM email template 'header', then the body of the email in the template and

</body>
</html>

in the footer. Header and footer never get loaded into the wysywyg so don't' get stripped of<head> and <body> tags

Ahhh, that's awesome. Thank's so much, worked like a charm!

This doesn't work for me. As soon at it hits the testing step 4, it has already stripped out the <html><head><body> tags.
