WordPress Plugin: HTML Emails
Tired of all those boring emails that you get from WordPress? Do you dread opening emails from WordPress because plain text and/or over-querystringified links terrify you? Rest easy friend, HTML emails for WordPress are here.
HTML Emails replaces the standard WordPress emails with spruced up versions that simply look good. Sample included below:
Currently, only comment notifications are HTML-ized (new comment and comment moderation emails), but I’m hoping to add all other email notifications soon (and yes, that includes Multi-Site emails coming with WordPress 3.0).
While I have only tested the emails on Gmail, Gmail on Android, and Outlook, they 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 an email with info on whether the email looks like it should and works correctly.
Don’t like my design chops? (Go ahead, admit it!) I’ve got you covered! HTML emails makes it easy to fully customize the look and feel of emails sent by WordPress. See the Other Notes section on the Plugin page for details on how to customize emails. More detailed walkthroughs to come.
Grab it from the Plugin Directory or install directly from WordPress (Plugins > Add New, search for HTML Emails).

Hi, this looks amazing.
How does it work in WPMU?

I’m hoping to release a version that works with WordPress 3.0′s Multi-site feature.

Hi Mohammad,
Great plugin – HTML works fine in all common email clients (Mail, Thunderbird, Outlook Express) on Windows and Mac’s as far as I’ve tested.
I wonder – is there a way to change the “from” name and email address from wordpress@whateversite.com to a specified email address?
That would be great.
Thanks,
Nick

Changing the “from” name and email is pretty simple. Just add the code here to the functions.php file for your theme, change the appropriate values (‘abc@xyz.com’ to the email you want, and ‘John Doe’ to the name you want) and you’re all set.
If you’d rather not mess about with code, you can try these plugins instead:
