Today I started improving a newsletter system in the company I work for. One of the things I wanted to change is to have images embedded in the email message. The website uses CodeIgniter (http://www.codeigniter.com); for email handling I chose Swift mailer (http://swiftmailer.org/). Then for HTML parsing to replace all… Continue reading
