Description

We are sending emails using the old styles. It would be good to refresh them by using the simplicity look and feel from the new dashboard. I think this is the file we need to update: https://github.com/readthedocs/readthedocs.org/blob/f8cbc1310524a91230d80bb4956e3b164911dd3b/readthedocs/templates/core/email/base.html

Here is an example:

Research direction

Start with readthedocs/templates/core/email/base.html, the file linked in the issue, and compare its current email styling with the supplied screenshot of the new dashboard look. Update the template so sent emails use the requested simplicity theme; done means the old styling is replaced consistently in that base template.
