In all fairness that's probably a good thing. God forbid if emails today were like the rest of the web, hijacking the scrollbar, constant popups to register, like and subscribe.
I like my emails like I like my actual mail; text and maybe the odd image.
- pbhjpbhj 8y agoI've got to disagree. Your preference for text emails doesn't mean those who do want rich-text or HTML should have to put up with crappy rendering that requires specialist developers. I don't understand why HTML payloads can't just be loaded in a (streamlined) browser pane?
- mattkevan 8y agoAgreed. Rendering HTML and CSS in a vaguely standards-compliant way is surely a solved problem by now. Javascript should stay firmly blocked though.
- _bxg1 8y agoThey are; it just tends to be a really crappy browser pane that isn't based on (and therefore kept up to date with) any major browser, so writing the HTML and CSS is like being transported back to 2004
- mattkevan 8y agoDunno why Gmail doesn’t support everything. It’s in a modern browser already! https://templates.mailchimp.com/resources/email-client-css-support/ https://templates.mailchimp.com/resources/email-client-css-s...
- Semaphor 8y ago> hijacking the scrollbar, constant popups to register, like and subscribe. Those are JS related, I don't think anyone is asking for renderers to allow that. But proper CSS support would be nice.
