Configuration

You can configure an expiration time (in hours) by going to Settings > Technical > System Parameters and changing the value for mail_browser_view.token_expiration_hours.

Any zero or negative values will disable the token expiration. Default value is 720 hours (1 month).

Usage

Upon module installation, a secure token will be generated for each mail, allowing it to be reached via a constructed URL. You can then put the following placeholder:

<a href="#" class="view_in_browser_url">View this mail in browser</a>

anywhere in your mail templates (of course, the link text can be changed). If you use templates not managed through Odoo editor, it is strongly advised to use the mail_inline_style module so the styles do not get messed up.

Be aware that this feature will not work for templates having "Auto-Delete" value set to True. To avoid any unwanted 404 errors, all the placeholders within such templates will be removed automatically in the generated mails.
