Is it possible to send emails AND save a HTML version?

Currently not, the package acts as your only mail driver so it stops sending emails and saves them on disk instead, but it's quite useful to include such a feature, I'll give it a shot soon and get back to you with the results.

I'll be releasing a new version of the package during the next few days, hopefully that'll be included.

Giving it a second thought, can you please share a use case where you want the mail to be sent but also save it on disk?

[JayBizzle]

Hmmm, thinking about it, I could just render and return the email view and store it to the file system as well as sending pretty easily without any kind of package.

So, perhaps I was just being a little lazy hoping this package could do it for me 🤓

Aren't we all looking for a super hero package that does everything for us? 😀

@themsaid For an upcoming project, a client wants to send e-mails but also save a preview of that sent e-mail to review later (or by other admins) :)

[themsaid]

well, I'd absolutely accept a PR for that :)

The thing is this package replaces the mail driver configs completely, I think the best option here is to listen to a mail sent event, let the package save the email to disk, but send the actual email from the event listener.
