I am trying to use a logger in order to send "alerts" to the user. So for me 1 log = 1 email (hence LOG4J2-1071). I use the regular PatternLayout to produce a simple but full HTML page with my alert email template.
For the HTMLLayout to be usable, it would have to allow to customize the pattern, header and footer. Bonus points if we could use the MDC in the email subject.
