Description

Author: swalling

Description:
One of the most commonly-sent emails on Wikimedia projects is the email confirmation (or reconfirmation) message. In MediaWiki, this defaults to a rather lengthy plain text message that is quite ugly and certainly less usable than the nice Echo HTML emails. (It's MediaWiki:Confirmemail body.)

Since HTML is the default users should expect where Echo is deployed, Echo should replace the MediaWiki default email confirmation message with an HTML email. A flyout message might be nice too.

Version: unspecified
Severity: enhancement
