Post processing view output

[plmeister]

would be nice if there was a hook that enabled us to post-process the generated view output - then could use premailer.net to automatically inline all the css

https://github.com/milkshakesoftware/PreMailer.Net

currently having to generate the email to Net.MailMessage then process it and send it myself

There's not a simple hook for this, however, it's possible.

Implement the Postal.IEmailParser interface and delegate the implementation to an instance of Postal.EmailParser. Transform the resulting MailMessage as required before returning it.

Then create your own subclass of EmailService, where you use the custom email parser. https://github.com/andrewdavey/postal/blob/master/src/Postal/EmailService.cs

Finally, put this in Application_Start if you want the Email.Send() to use the new implementation: Postal.Email.CreateEmailService = () => new CustomEmailService()

If you have thoughts on how to provide a built-in hook, then I'd be happy to take a look at a pull request.

Hi Andrew

Thanks for this, I'll take a look later

I'll see what I can do about investigating where a hook point could sensibly go also

Much appreciated

I don't know if this helps but here is a gist that shows how we use premailer with postal https://gist.github.com/paulduran/91dd14c0eecc6b1ff22f

@paulduran @plmeister Your gist is great, but it has a bug with images, which are not included. I've added a comment with a fix to that gist.
