Hi, i would like to change the css style of the recap template (digest), that is sent to users.

Unfortunately the only part of the digest that is editable is the logo, which can be done via site settings.
CSS in email is quite a tricky task, so we’ve hardcoded the styles in the template:

Hi @eviltrout, thank you very much for the answer, i really appreciate it.
Is there a way to overwrite this file? Maybe with a plugin?

Unfortunately I don’t think `.erb` templates can be overridden in plugins, although maybe someone on the [@team](https://meta.discourse.org/groups/team) could correct me.

The .erb template can’t be overridden by a plugin.
Car Talk has its own digest emails. How we did that in a plugin was to treat it as a new email entirely. You could disable Discourse’s default digest emails and then use your own. It’s more complicated than making a new template though…
- Create a new scheduled job in the plugin that is the same as [enqueue\_digest\_emails.rb](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/app/jobs/scheduled/enqueue_digest_emails.rb) but will queue your new email. `Jobs.enqueue(:my_custom_digest_email, user_id: user_id)`
- Create your new mailer in `app/mailers`. Copy [the digest method from the user\_notifications.rb mailer](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/app/mailers/user_notifications.rb#L99-L178) into your mailer.
- Put your new template for the email in `app/views/mailers/my_custom_digest_email`.
Not ideal, but gives you a lot of freedom to customize the data and logic.

One small thing that could be useful here: a way to change the header image size for this email. See below images — in the first (default) the header image is almost comically tiny (40px height). The latter I tried making three times larger (120px, the actual size of the uploaded image) and it looks much better. Not sure if there’s any way to do this currently but would be nice to be able to use the larger image!

Where can I find this file in my server? I need to change it manually. As reported [here](https://meta.discourse.org/t/emails-for-rtl-languages-have-ltr-direction/41972), digest emails have serious problems with rtl language and I cant wait till it gets fixed.

Is there anyway to style the element span.badge-category-bg used in the New for you section of these emails? I’ve noticed there’s some inheritence of styling from the customisable stylesheets into the digest, and we have a problem where these items are not sized properly in email clients.

Me too. 40px just isn’t large enough to have the logo blend in with the rest of the template, which uses **HUGE** fonts.

It can.
I have created a plugin for client to override the default digest template.

@neil can you clarify why it isn’t possible to override an erb template with a plugin?

I tried something similar for ActionViews but it did not work (need it to change the template for user notification emails)
::ActionView::Base.prepend\_view\_path File.expand\_path(“../custom\_views”, **FILE** )
Tried this as well ([from here](https://apidock.com/rails/ActionView/ViewPaths/prepend_view_path))
::ActionViews::ViewPaths.prepend\_view\_path File.expand\_path(“../custom\_views”, **FILE** )
Any ideas? New to Ruby/Rails so pardon my mistakes.
Edit: Not working means discourse won’t start.
