The other day I was discussing the design for an "update" email that our designer was putting together and showing me the size of this stupid graphical header he put at the top and I was showing him how with that you can't even see the text of the title of the email without scrolling down, and then he forwards some other version to me for more feedback and suddenly started getting all disturbed and upset because something looked different to him.. like the fonts were a bit smaller.. and then he said, oh no, when you forward it, it transforms it to the desktop version, instead of the mobile version! And I'm sitting there in disbelief, just staring at him, like,... this is EMAIL we're talking about, what do you mean "desktop" version and "mobile" version? How is that even a thing? What do you mean it "transforms" it? It's literally just copying it! The fact that it "breaks" when you do that is evidence of how stupid this is. My god man, why is CSS in my email at all? The fact that we haven't adopted something much simpler to just be able to express italics or whatever, like markdown, is just bonkers to me. It just shows how little anyone cares about actually improving the situation. And all just to cater to the bizarre corporate need to put logos and banners everything. HTML email is just ridiculous.
