Dritbra epost fra kundesørvis, med trykk på første del av ordet. #HTMLemail
Beklager, men ord strekker ikke til for å beskrive bildene. Kort oppsummert: epost fra kundesørvis som kun inneholder HTML-versjon, HTML-versjonen har hardkodet tekstfargen til #172953 - som gir nesten null kontrast mot bakgrunnen når jeg bruker et mørkt tema.

Bilde 1 av 2: Epost fra kundesørvis som forteller meg at den er i HTML-format. Dette er lett lesbart siden jeg har «ren tekst» som standard visningsmodus for epost.

Bilde 2 av 2: HTML-versjonen av meldingen, med hardkodet farge for tekst, mens bakgrunnsfargen ikke angitt. Det gir nesten null kontrast for det meste av meldingen når jeg bruker et mørkt tema.

Microsoft is nudging users toward New Outlook, which promises to fix many of the email rendering headaches of the past. Still, Classic Outlook isn’t going away quite yet - so developers will need to keep supporting it.

If you're battling Outlook rendering quirks, Email on Acid has practical tips to help:

Another hall of shame entry for crimes against HTML email, this one from Trustpilot via a retailer. The broken images demonstrate a lack of knowledge in when HTML email does or does not load remote resources. It also shows it wasn't tested. The "Click here" on a mobile device is just the cherry on top. #HTML #email #HTMLEmail #WebDesign #Marketing #Trustpilot

Part of a screenshot of an email which has some centered text in teal that reads "Click here to review us on Trustpilot". Then a five item bullet pointed list where each list item is a broken image icon.

Au contraire.

#HTMLEmail #email #plainText

Screenshot which reads: "To render properly in email clients, emails should have at least one text part; preferably a multipart containing a plain text and html version."

Then, highlighted in yellow: "The email contains plain text, no HTML. This can make the email less attractive to read."

Yeah #Suncorp:

- you used a no-reply email address
- and you filled your text/plain MIME part choc-o-block with HTML/CSS

#rant #HTMLemail

Screenshot of Thunderbird showing an email from Suncorp bank.

Due to an issue at their end, all one can see is HTML and CSS, so much CSS not even the <body> tag is visible.

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 ? 😩 😩

Email Accessibility: Your Ultimate Guide

#Email #HTMLEmail #DigitalAccessibility #Accessibility #A11y

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.net.nz/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?
