Beautymail for Laravel 5

Beautymail makes it super easy to send beatiful responsive HTML emails. It's made for things like:

• Welcome emails
• Password reminders
• Invoices
• Data exports

If you're on Laravel 4, use the 1.x branch.

Templates

There are tons of great looking HTML email templates out there. Campaign Monitor and Mailchimp has released hundreds for free. It is pretty simple to adapt a template to Beautymail. If you do, please send a PR.
