Can I add a default stylesheet to every outgoing message?

Post by AndrewK »

Is there a way to set the outgoing stylesheet for HTML messages? Maybe include a default <style> section at the top of every message?

Right now I use the ThunderHTMLedit extension to paste a short style section at the top, but I have to do that manually with each message. I'm looking, I guess, to change the default <head> section of every e-mail that goes out.

In short, I'd like to be able to paste a simple HTML message without inline styles, and have Thunderbird add that stylesheet to the top. This way most recipients will get the message exactly the way I wanted it.

Right now the default HTML container looks like this:

Code: Select all

<html>
  <head>
    <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
  </head>
  <body text="#000000" bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
    <br>
  </body>
</html>
I would like to change it to something like this:

Code: Select all

<html>
  <head>
   <style>
     body { font-family: 'Open Sans', Arial, sans-serif; }
     p { font-size: 1em; margin: 0 0 .5em 0; }
     a { color: #2971BC; text-decoration: underline; }
     h2, h3, h4 { color: #113e71; letter-spacing:-1px; font-weight: bold;}
     h1 { font-size: 1.25em; color: white; background-color: #113e71; padding: 4px; margin: 1em 0 1.5em 0; }
     h2 { font-size: 2em; margin: 0 0 1em 0; border-top:1px solid #113e71;}
     h3 { font-size: 1.5em; margin: 1.25em 0 .5em 0;}
  </style>
    <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
  </head>
  <body text="#000000" bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
    <br>
  </body>
</html>

Is there any way to do that? Thanks for any suggestions![/size]

Have you tried creating a template that used your style sheet? See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Message_templates
