TinyMCE for Sending Email

I had an issue today with TinyMCE WYSIWYG editor which uses proper XHTML and CSS for aligning elements. This is all good for CMS style usage but my usage was for sending HTML emails and on some email clients the alignment in CSS is ignored. I really needed the images to be aligned with align=”right”. So to get around the problem make sure you have a recent version of TinyMCE and add the legacyoutput plugin e.g.

plugins : “safari,spellchecker,pagebreak,style,layer,table,save,advhr,advimage,advlink,emotions,iespell,inlinepopups,insertdatetime,preview,media,searchreplace,print,contextmenu,paste,directionality,fullscreen,noneditable,visualchars,nonbreaking,xhtmlxtras,template,legacyoutput”,

I also had a problem getting it loaded until I realised that I had ‘imagemanager’ and ‘filemanager’ in the list of plugins but I had not got those plugins installed in the plugins directory.
