New email template for pulse / dashboard subscription

Feature Requests
1

Hello Metabase team,
I've upgrade to version 0.41 but the email's template for pulse / dashboard subscription has changed.
Before, there were no sliding bar inside each question, the email sent was responsive and the look and feel was better especially on mobile phone.
Now, it is very difficult to read the data on mobile phone : there is sliding bar for each question, it is not possible to have a global overview of the result sent.
It is possible to have an option to choose email template ?

Hi @nico8
Sounds like you should create an issue with screenshots describing the problem:
https://github.com/metabase/metabase/issues/new/choose
Also, you should upgrade to Java 11: https://www.metabase.com/docs/latest/operations-guide/java-versions.html

Unfortunately, there's currently no built-in option to switch back to the old responsive email style. But you're right to suggest it — having a toggle for email template type (classic vs. fixed layout) would be a great feature. I’d recommend opening or upvoting a feature request on Metabase’s GitHub if you haven’t already.

The new layout in Metabase v0.41 does seem less optimized for smaller screens, and those horizontal scroll bars can make it harder to get a quick overview.

While there isn't currently a built-in option to toggle between email templates, I agree that having some control over formatting, especially for mobile responsiveness, would be a big improvement. Maybe offering a responsive signature template approach, or even a few layout presets, could help users tailor the look of these reports to their audience and devices.
