> Hello , I am student and I'm interested in the to work on the following
> project.
>
> Enhanced Emails
>
> WordPress sends out a bunch of email notifications for new users, comments,
> password resets, and more. Right now they're all plain-text -- let's bring
> them into the 21st century with well-designed HTML + CSS that brings
> additional functionality into the notifications, makes them more readable,
> and is optimized and tested across common web mail clients, desktop mail
> clients, and phones including iPhone, Android mail, and Blackberry.
>
> Here is what I am planning to do , please give me some feedback to get a
> better understanding. Also, I wanted  to mention that* I'm looking for a
> mentor* for this specific project.
>
> *Plan*
>
> Basically I am planning to have email templates that accepts parameters and
> then this will be sent them to users. Email templates could be html  pages
> with css. I was thinking of basically have a php of the template and then a
> function that prints the new email with all the parameters added to it such
> as name of the user, the new comments or if password resets. *Well I didn’t
> do a full research , however in my previous internship I used a library
> that actually allows me to embedded special characters in any email file I
> want to send and then using that library it will replace those characters
> with whatever value I pass.*
