### Administrators, Developers & Designers

[](#administrators-developers--designers)

If you have the **[developers](/admin/plugins#developers)** plugin enabled you can easily design the layout of your HTML message, check the Theming sandbox.
Otherwise you can go to [the test url](/html_email_handler/test) to design the layout.

File attachements notes and documentation
-----------------------------------------

[](#file-attachements-notes-and-documentation)

File attachments support :

If you wish to add file attachments to email notifications, you can use the notify\_user function and pass it an "attachments" key, with `$params['attachments']` :

```
	$attachments[] = array(
		'content' => $file_content, // File content
		//'filepath' => $file_content, // Alternate file path for file content retrieval
		'filename' => $file_content, // Attachment file name
		'mimetype' => $file_content, // MIME type of attachment
	);
```

Note that `$attachments` is an array, so you can pass several files at once, each with a custom filename and MIME type.

**Warning**: don't use 'filepath' setting on a production site (not functional yet)
