Papers List
- HTML
email: accessibility - Stéphane Deschamps, Jean-Marc Bassin, France
Telecom Group
- Considering that the HTML email WG will try to define new common
grounds for HTML-based emails, we aim at providing a tentative state of
the art and list of minimal requirements as seen from an accessibility
point of view.
- Should e-mail
designers/developers ignore standards because of poor rendering in e-mail
clients? - Darren Rawlings, Head of Strategic Service (Europe)
- It has often been suggested by clients that e-mail design should
follow the same rules and principles as web design, as such, demands

measurable, sophisticated, and innovative as it mixes the authoring
technologies of the Web with conventional, offline direct marketing
principles. In this day and age however… identifying yourself as an

broad curtailment of HTML, CSS and other standards in emails.

- Browser support for web standards is finally becoming commonplace, as
is authoring for standards compliance with accessibility front of mind.
However, HTML rendering in email clients is sporadic at best,
exhibiting a lack of CSS support reminiscent of (now-antiquated)
4.0/5.0 browsers. We must continue to embrace web standards and call
for support in HTML email clients.
