After lots of searching I finally found a plugin that will autopopulate the featured image in a post using the first image in the post itself. Its called Auto Post Thumbnail http://wordpress.org/plugins/auto-post-thumbnail/ It’s pretty straight forward and simple to use.
I ended up creating a simple plugin based on this tutorial: http://wp.smashingmagazine.com/2011/10/25/create-perfect-emails-wordpress-website/ Plus I had to create a page template for the password reset based on these 2 tutorials: http://www.sutanaryan.com/wordpress/how-to-create-custom-reset-or-forget-password-in-wordpress/ http://www.tutorialized.com/tutorial/Create-a-Wordpress-Custom-Password-Reset-Page-Template/76026
This is an ongoing list of plugins I have used that I find super useful. I hope to write a review of each one in the future.
