The Email Block plugin allows users to draft and plan emails directly within Obsidian notes. By using a structured code block, users can define email parameters such as recipients, subject, and body content. The plugin supports referencing notes as the email body and incorporating variables for placeholders, which can be dynamically replaced. It also provides options to include 'mailto' links for easy email launching. This plugin is ideal for those who want to organize and format email drafts efficiently while integrating them into their existing Obsidian workflow.
The Buttondown plugin integrates the Buttondown email newsletter service with Obsidian, enabling users to draft and send newsletters directly from their vault. Users can compose emails as markdown notes and seamlessly create Buttondown drafts with a single command. The plugin sets the note’s filename as the email subject and its content as the email body. Once sent to Buttondown, the drafts can be reviewed, edited, and scheduled or sent via the Buttondown interface. This tool is ideal for managing newsletters in a markdown-friendly environment while leveraging the powerful features of Buttondown.
The Email Reader plugin allows users to preview the content of `*.eml` email files directly within Obsidian's Preview mode, similar to embedding an image file. Instead of displaying a button that opens the email in an external app, this plugin renders the email content inline within the note. Users can also customize the dimensions of the email frame for better viewing. This is especially useful for keeping email content visible and organized in notes without altering the raw content. The plugin provides a seamless way to integrate emails into the note-taking workflow.
The MSG Handler plugin enhances Obsidian by enabling the display and search functionality for Outlook `.msg` and `.eml` files directly within the app. Designed for users who need to archive and search emails locally, it provides a custom view for these file types, showcasing email headers, body content, and attachments. The plugin includes a dedicated search view that indexes `.msg` and `.eml` files for faster searches, keeping the database synchronized with vault changes. Attachments are viewable and can be saved within the vault. Additionally, the plugin supports embedded previews in both Editor Source Mode and Preview Mode, ensuring seamless integration with markdown notes.
