Goal

Build two transactional email templates using the approved copy and design from the screenshots.

Email Confirmation
Password Reset

Scope

Frontend: HTML email template build only. Sending logic is covered in the sign up and password reset integration tickets.

Acceptance Criteria

Shared template elements

Both emails share the following structure:

• Header: Boost logo
• Footer:
  • Social icons: X, Bluesky, Mastodon, Reddit, GitHub, LinkedIn
  • "Boost.org is supported by grants from The C++ Alliance."
  • "Want to change how you receive these emails? You can update your preferences or unsubscribe from this list."
