What we need now is the fading away of Windows Outlook and its Word based html renderer. Emails need to start using conditional rendering to show an “Outlook is no longer supported. Please upgrade to Thunderbird” message
- incrudible 3y agoHard no, HTML in emails should be kept at bay as much as possible. If that means supporting a weird subset of Word HTML, so be it.
- h0l0cube 3y agoThe state of affairs is html. Just broken, outdated, and wildly inconsistent
- zamadatix 3y agoI think they are saying they'd rather it stay outdated and broken so people are disincentivized to make complex emails. Dunno I agree, but they seem aware its already in use and just dislike it.
- h0l0cube 3y agoIt's hard to actually know precisely why they are resistant to HTML in emails just by the comment. Seems like just a vibe
- zamadatix 3y agoThe new Outlook client is WebView2 (Edge, i.e. Chromium) based. It will be replacing the consumer focused Mail app in Windows as well, which I think was using the original Edge (non-Chromium) WebView.
- h0l0cube 3y agoRight. Well I'm just going to suggest to clients that we use <div>s from now on and see if anyone complains.
