Emogrifier – Convert HTML & CSS into gmail friendly emails

August 11th, 2008 by John Reeve

EmogrifierWhile working on the “email this page” feature in Intervals we needed to find a way to merge HTML & CSS files into a Frankenstein-like document that gmail would honor. Quick back story — gmail doesn’t play nice with conventionally defined CSS. We came up with the Emogrifier, a PHP utility we are adding to the Pelago collection of Sidecar Projects.

Visit www.emogrifier.com to try converting some of your web pages to gmail friendly emails and read more about the project. While you are there, feel free to download the source code for use in your own applications.

    I was near despair, but emofrigier did the trick.

    This is an amazing tool, the mere existence of this tool answers so many of those “why is gmail fucking up my html” questions that it’s just unbelievable. (anybody have trouble with tables? hah!)

    Thank you thank you, THANK YOU!
