Project 1: Email Random Info Footer

User’s Story: The user wants to make their emails more interesting to garner closer reader attention despite sometimes mondaine content. To do this, we use API’s to place random quotations and historical factoids in the footer.

Minimum Acceptance Criteria:

WHEN the user checks the box associated with a type of footer content,

THEN the associated content is inserted in the footer of the email in the message editing area.

WHEN the user is finished editing and clicks the ‘send’ button,

THEN the user’s default email application opens and is populated with the message content including the selected footer content.

WHEN the user clicks ‘send’,

THEN the entire email string is saved in local storage with a timestamp key.
