Results publication notifications and reporting about senaite.core HOT 2 OPEN

Very useful suggestions!
I support rendering of reports as PDF only, as this is the only reliable way anyway.

A HTML-Mail can't be considered as a real document IMO, because it will be rendered by every mail client differently. And the differences to the current PDF are obvious, so that we shall not do double work.
In addition HTML-Mails might be supressed or filtered in some enterprise networks by security reasons.
Although I found them very beautiful, when I saw them first.
To be honest, communication etiquette in mind, I think the body of an E-Mail should contain a humble salution and the notification of the attached report.

Regarding attachments: I agree that images etc. should be part of the report itself. We have few clients that prefer the original image files (sem photos and spectra) for their own final reports. So this is still a useful feature.

Email addresses to recipients of CSV 'COAs' that are not Client Contacts needs consideration please.

Including the Client's own to be included at publication these could be any of

• Client specific formats for importing in their down stream systems, work books etc. SAP is a popular one

• Results to Regulatory bodies
  This could be considered a global setting, but they are published in the same action with the COA
  They could differ per Client and Contact (they normally want copies themselves) but Wine Clients say from different regions fall under different jurisdictions. Cannabis is the first in the sights now.

Their addresses will be something like [email protected], not a Contact at the Client itself.
