Do you wind up with plaintext emails that look gross when opened in Outlook?
- insertnickname 11y agoIt is HTML emails that are gross, not plain text.
- qw 11y agoNot necessarily for the Outlook users. The default setting of my Outlook was to ignore double line breaks and (paragraphs), which makes plain text mails less readable.
- smcl 11y agoSame for me, I cannot think of the use case for this - maybe it was introduced in the embrace/extend/extinguish era to nudge people into using Rich Text format emails?

- insertnickname 11y agoIt is Outlook that is gross.
- monochromatic 11y agoUnfortunately, sometimes in the real world we don't all get to always choose our own tools.
- insertnickname 11y agoSure, but you still shouldn't blame plain text for Outlook's failures.
- monochromatic 11y agoI didn't lay blame at all. I just asked: "Do you wind up with plaintext emails that look gross when opened in Outlook?" My presumption, based on your defensiveness/evasiveness, is that the answer is "yes."
- monochromatic 11y agoFine, but Outlook does not make plain text emails look nice.
