There is no standard HTML version for email, the same way there is no standard HTML version for a website. The contents can reasonably be anything.

- im3w1l 6y agoFollow up question: What parts of html do you need implement to render 99% of emails decently accurately?
- freeone3000 6y agoFor a very long time, the limit was Outlook on Windows, which used the Word 2003 parser. So, whatever was supported by Word 2003. But, more recently, mail campaigns have instead targeted Gmail, so "whatever Gmail renders" (this is not everything a browser renders, but is close). It's not feasible to implement a subset for this and do parallel CVE fixes.
- emilsedgh 6y agoUnfortunately Outlook has a pretty big market share in corporate world and if you're serious about your emails, you still have to support it. It's worse than IE6. And to help your sanity, use mjml.

- krageon 6y agoEmail html rendering is a giant pile of steaming dino dung. No matter how you implement it, you will absolutely break emails.
