Improve email formatting in Bloomerang Volunteer


We really like the cabilities of the template builder and email formatting in Bloomerang Donor! However, we just tried to send a newseltter through Bloomerang Volunteer and it does not look as nice since it doesn't allow us to move blocks and do more customized formatting. It would be really great if the email options in Bloomerang Volunteer were as nice as they are in Bloomerang Donor. Thanks so much!

    THIS! PERIOD! Bloomerang Volunteer needs to match the robust editing privileges of Bloomerang Donor when it comes to email creation. Images don't transfer correctly, links aren't properly included, etc. In essence, we need the capabilities of Bloomerang Donor email editing in Bloomerang Volunteer.

    I'll add the following quality of life improvements:

    • I copied an email that I had composed and formatted in Gmail into the template and all the formatting was lost

    • Indenting a bulleted list should add another layer of bullet (i.e. embed a second UL element into the LI element) so that the bullet itself indents, rather than keeping the bullets at the same location and indenting the text after the bullet.

      • Like this second-level bullet

    • When adding a link, the cursor focus should be on the link address field (which, confusingly, is highlighted in red), not the link text

    • Please let me add mailto links! Currently only links starting with https:// are allowed.

    • When I scroll the editor, please only scroll the message content, so that after I scroll down into a longer message I can still access the formatting tools.

    It would also be great if the paragraph spacing was improved. What you see is not what you get. Best option would be to set paragraph to single-space, or figure out how to show a preview with the correct spacing applied. The way it is requires testing over and over until it looks correct.
