Template Based E-mail "Test Send" and "Viewer"

[Foreman2]

It would be nice if you could test send a template based e-mail instead of having to place a test order. It would also be nice if there was an option to view the html as it would appear in an e-mail in your browser.

You can! Go into Order Processing and click on an order. When you are in the Order details screen, above the order info you will see three links: Notes, Order Emails, and Order Fulfillment Modules.

Click on Order Emails. In the dialog, you can choose which template emails you want to send. Make sure to override the From field (or else you'll send your customer another email).

It would be nice to be able to see it without having to resend the email

yea, "Preview" button would be cool...but meanwhile, create a test order (using perhaps our Free Faux Orders module). and when doing your formatting, just open the Edit Order in another tab. True, you have to do two clicks, but this way you don't have to change the email TO: field, and you can build an order that has ALL possible content (like custom Order fields, Products with Attributes, extra charges etc.)
