Create plain text only email template

[irgipaulius]

I know I am not supposed to ask use-case questions here as described here, but I am having no success elsewhere, plus if there is no answer to my question, this could become a feature request.

Currently, in mailmason a template with no Layout set, fills both HTML and Text versions of the email template in postmarkapp.

How do I create a template in mailmason so the HTML field in postmark will be empty, and Text set?

That is important for creating small size ticket emails without bloating customer service management service.

I don't really understand how grunt works, so my workaround:

1. Added a script in package.json:

"push-postmark": "npm run build && node ./removeHTML.js && npm run deploy"

2. In /Gruntfile.js edit the deploy task:

grunt.registerTask('deploy', ['shell:postmarkPush']) // remove 'default' task

3. Create removeHTML.js file in root and insert:

const pathToTemplates = "./dist/postmark-templates"
const files = fs.readdirSync(pathToTemplates);
files.forEach(directory => {
    const templateDir = path.join(pathToTemplates, directory)
  const metaFile = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync(path.join(templateDir, 'meta.json'), 'utf8'));
  if (!metaFile.LayoutTemplate){
    // if LayoutTemplate is not set, then delete the HTML content
    fs.unlinkSync(path.join(templateDir, 'content.html'))
  }
});

4. Run npm run push-postmark

5. Now if template hasn't got LayoutTemplate set, mailmason will push only the text version to postmarkapp.

It would be great to have this feature by default.
