I'm fairly certain that Lotus Notes is deserving of at least as much scorn for its mail rendering as Outlook.
- kbenson 9y agoConsidering I did ISP tech support, including mail client setup, for a few years in the late 90's and early 2000's and never once encountered Lotus Notes, I think it may be like in kind, but nowhere near like in quantity.
- pjmlp 9y agoLucky you, I see it every single day.
- jackvalentine 9y agoNotes is/was typically used in corporate setups. I'm not sure any non-business user would have ended up trying to use it.
- kbenson 9y agoI would have thought the same of Microsoft Outlook (not Outlook Express), but those calls were fairly common. Perhaps Microsoft Office was just more commonly encountered outside a corporate environment.
- jackvalentine 9y agoOutlook has always been fairly accessible to the home user, through home use programs or various versions of Office. It even comes with home editions these days.
- tonyedgecombe 9y agoNotes was an interesting product until people started using it for email.
- dr1ggins 9y agoI had to do client work once that required Lotus Notes support and I swear that program runs HTML through a blender before trying to render it. It makes Outlook look like Chromium.
- stan_rogers 9y agoNotes doesn't do HTML at all, at least not in the client. (The webmail client, running in the browser, does use HTML.) It uses a rich text format, and has to translate HTML to the nearest Notes rich text equivalent.
