re a) all depends on what you call “nice looking” really and whether you are using phpmailer as mail delivery or the standard mail()/wp_mail().
on either you could use the templates to edit to make them “look nice” and print those…or if using phpmailer for example , could use a filter ‘wppizza_phpmailer_sent;
like so in your functions.php (there’s also another way of doing this if NOT using phpmailer , but its a bit more involved

    add_action('wppizza_phpmailer_sent', 'my_custom_phpmailer',10,2);
function my_custom_phpmailer($mail,$mailsent){
if($mailsent){
//**do something with the $mail object (like fomat and then send to a different email to print or , curl, post or whatnot)
}
}

re b)
i am actually in the middle of redesigning the whole thing and moving these comments and other bits and pieces to some sort of organized forums , having an area for codesnippets etc so it is – at least – searchable and not the mess that it is at the moment

might take a bit longer but should/will make the whole thing a lot more manageable and userfriendly i would have thought (just never got the time to do this before and it’s definitely about time i agree)
