System email notifications. Should we still be sending a plain text equivalent with HTML or is that antiquated now? For B2B messages, it's going to be mainly Outlook and Gmail, isn't it?

#htmlemail #webdev #email

Yesterday my horror show was #SOAP, today it's gonna be HTML email 😩 😩

#DevLife #HTMLEmail #DeveloperHorrorStory

A screenshot of can I email with the first option being displayed "@font-face".

And again,

I really can't understand what the point of adding

style="overflow-y: hidden;"

to HTML emails is. It just means that it won't scroll in probably anything but web mail.

This is just pure hostile design (in this case it's a response to a complaint which just rubs it in...)

#ux #htmlEmail #email #HostileDesign

Screenshot of section of the source view of an email. Showing empty plain text section, then a HTLM section with vertical scrolling explicitly disabled.

@me

Reminds me of https://www.litmus.com/email-templates

Creating HTML mail that works for every client is just a nightmarish hellscape.

If the content doesn't fit in the free templates, then the problem is with the content.

#mail #email #htmlemail #html #developer

I've been visiting https://www.caniemail.com/ WAAAAAYYY to much over these last couple of days.

I don't want to deal with HTML e-mail anymore. Can't I just become a stroopwafel seller in Seoul (or Jakarta), a woodworker or a farmer ? 😩 😩

A perfect example why I refuse to use #HTMLemail. My father spotted this email (he's the treasurer for Brisbane WICEN) and noticed the odd figure.

K9-mail would only show the HTML version, which made the scam look _very_ authentic.

I hit the 3 dots and forwarded it as an attachment to my own email address to have a good look. Thunderbird's #PlainTextEmail view laid bare the scam.

'Kobold Letters', a great piece by @weddige on the dangers of HTML email, regardless of viewing method https://lutrasecurity.com/en/articles/kobold-letters

#security #email #HTML #CSS #HTMLEmail #Mozilla #Thunderbird #Microsoft #Outlook #MicrosoftOutlook #Gmail #Google #HTMLEmails

I just republished an old favourite from the dead CoActivate version of the #Disintermedia blog. The hardy annual about about why sending HTML as email is a bad idea:

https://disintermedia.substack.com/p/get-your-html-email-off-my-lawn

Now that I've got 3 proper pieces posted (not including the intro) in under a month, I feel confident to turn on the thing that allows paid subscribers (hint, hint!).

#HTML #email #HTMLEmail

I love the new CSS logical properties and use them everywhere now... except... in the weird styling of HTML email. I'm just not confident that they would be supported across the board yet. Does anyone actually know? Is there a caniuse.com type resource specifically for HTML email?
