Description
This is just an idea at the moment, but under Email Templates we could add a section called: Email Layouts
Email Layouts would be well designed HTML structure files containing a header/footer with colors and logo, etc.. and the Email Template content would go inside a content area. I'm thinking of something similar to Campaign Monitor in terms of template designs.
Initially, we could ship without any existing designs but allow the following functionality:
- Create new Email templates. Paste in HTML, must include a tag for inserting the email template. When creating a template, you give it a name, and enter the HTML content, and we verify that the content contains the tag that we insert the email template into.
- Each email template would get an option to select an Email Template. By default, we should either allow no email template to be selected, or ship with a "Default" email template that either has no HTML besides the tag, or has a basic design we decide to ship with.

Just to note, this may require updating our template tags from a single brace to double brace, e.g.
{tag}to tag, which is the default for h2o anyway. The problem is that single tags interfere with inline CSS styles, which may be a problem.

Note also, Signatures are appended at the end of an email and when people hack together an html email now the signature ends up in a strange place. Double check that signatures are working properly. Maybe we need to add a signature tag within email templates to determine where they are inserted?
