Hello, hope you’re doing well: I would like to be fully able to customize how emails look (e.g: Change layout, remove profile pictures, round edges, etc), how would I go around this? For example I want to amend summary emails: <a class="lightbox" href="https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/4X/7/b/3/7b3617f71528881e5b205d221857855ae4e21418.png" data-download-href="/uploads/short-url/hzYCGgv3DH5Tf3ABhGc4Rerb0hy.png?dl=1" title="The image displays a user interface of the Discourse forum showcasing sections like 'Since your last visit', 'Popular Topics', and 'New in topics and categories you follow'.

I’ve already taken a look at this, this does still not provide me with the knowledge I need to achieve the desired effect, this is as it only affects the outer email template. For example how would I go around removing these components? <a class="lightbox" href="https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/4X/c/1/f/c1f320050794b33039a3b705461f09f4f4e13b41.jpeg" data-download-href="/uploads/short-url/rFL2Mu4QkvjOKiJmhvZp9ahO0WR.jpeg?dl=1" title="The image shows a screenshot of an email draft with placeholder text, a logo at the top, and highlighted text indicating user names and dates.

I’m all outta answers, sorry. Not my wheelhouse!

I think your can hide them with css,though I’m not sure why you want the person receiving the message not to know who wrote it. That said, I’m not quite sure where your customize the email css.

Perhaps I will try amending the css via /admin/customize/email_style/css to see if I can get the desired affect.
