HTML is what non-techies want, or rather, they want to insert pictures and videos directly inline. They want to bold and highlight. They want bullet lists and numbered lists. They want to change fonts, make headlines, etc.. And they want it all to reflow for their device.
I do to. I don't want to say in the 70s terminal. I get that lots of techies wish the world was still 80 column monochrome ASCII only but you're the exception.

- nebulous1 2y agoI think the "techies" that you are referring to just see the issues with html email that the non-techies don't notice. Some of course just want things to be more like the 80-column monochrome that you mention, but for most it's not that extreme. I think HTML is way too complicated for email, and it would have been much better if they'd standardised on a version of markdown. That ship has sailed though, so we're stuck between using HTML or plain text.
