What a remarkable idea! "HTML mail = useless bullshit" is such a strong correlation in my mind that it had never occurred to me other people might see it the opposite way.
- yakshaving_jgt 3y agoI can't tell if this is sarcasm. Personally, I've been using mutt in the terminal as my primary email client for several years, and I absolutely prefer plaintext email. But this isn't about me. Nor is it about any other computer nerd here clutching their pearls over HTML email. The reality is that users of web applications — the kind that probably a significant proportion of HN readers develop to earn a living — expect HTML transactional email. It's table stakes. That's just the reality.
- marssaxman 3y agoNot sarcasm at all.
