STOP DOING HTML EMAIL

EMAILS WERE NOT SUPPOSED TO HAVE BUTTONS
YEARS OF COMMUNICATING yet NO REAL WORLD USE FOUND for more than text/plain
Wanted to style content anyway for a laugh? We had a tool for that: It was called "WEBSITES"
"Yes please embed an IMAGE in my email. Please use MULTIPLE FONTS in it" - Statements dreamed up by the utterly DERANGED

Fwd: STOP DOING HTML EMAIL

I canâ€™t agree more J

IF YOU'RE DOING HTML EMAIL AT LEAST WRITE SPEC COMPLIANT HTML

signed: a guy who lost points of sanity having to fork HTML parsers to explicitly not crash on non valid HTML in emails because, well, Gmail parses it fine so I have to parse it fine too

counterpoint: all html is valid, some of it is just more valid than others
