Amazing Emails from Drupal 8
summary
Drupal 8 can send branded, responsive transactional emails using the Easy Email contrib module backed by Swift Mailer + mail_system; templates are editable with CKEditor, support tokens (including custom QR-code tokens), attachments, plain-text alternatives and inbox preview, and are stored as entities for searchable email history. An email-override UI maps original hook_mail parameters to template fields (config entities), prevents duplicate sends, and is running in production on multiple sites as a drop-in solution.
