That ticket aims to provide research about the most suitable framework for formatting emails.
I reviewed 13 frameworks and several gems "inliners" for CSS styles for emails.
Frameworks reviewed: MJML Acorn Bojler Foundation HEML
Gems reviewed: roadie premailer-rails actionmailer_inlines_css inline_styles_mailer
The most popular framework for formatting emails for now (July 2023) is MJML. I found many tutorial links and videos around MJML, it is also free to use. I tried to find some tutorials that cover Foundation but even their official docs link is not working (last checked July 5, 1.43pm) https://foundation.zurb.com/docs The only 1 useful foundation gem-related video was found: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JA6KEtr5yVE&t=230s&ab_channel=RubyOnRailsTipsandSetups and 1 playlist about the foundation which is 6 years old, very few and old tutorials/articles like this one: https://www.vandelaydesign.com/ultimate-guide-foundation-for-emails/ (2016). (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLR_ZJO3q73HalAe5sRs7ByjHvptmbflsL). Other related videos were also about 3-7 years old. Among email styling gems I would like to highlight "premailer-rails" gem - it is a long-lived project that still receives updates and has more than 64 million downloads so far.
In the study, I was guided by the following technology selection criteria:
