90% of the time I'd agree with this sentiment, but modern email clients need to be able to render rich web content. A browser engine integration is just the reality, at some level.
- gsich 8y ago>but modern email clients need to be able to render rich web content No they don't.
- favorited 8y agoIf they want users they do. I get more HTML emails than plain-text. I won't switch to a mail client that can't render the majority of my inbox.
- setr 8y agoI don't think I have any HTML emails that require more than web 2.0 stylings, which isn't really much more than lynx would support, plus images. Its not clear to me you need anything resembling a modern web browser to render HTML emails. Do they even commonly use HTML5 features?
- gsich 8y agoThen your term "modern" is wrongly used here. I haven't seen any substantial change in the last 10-15 years in regards to HTML mails.
