If we were going to do this, can we come up with a well defined subset/derived specification of HTML5 for email, along with a conformity test ala Acid2/Acid3?

Outlook for Windows still uses the venerable Microsoft Word HTML rendering engine.
- dsr_ 2y agoSure. My primary request is that it not be allowed to show links as anything other than full URLs. My secondary priority is in not loading anything from an external site.
- gjsman-1000 2y agoUnfortunately, we know that most people who aren't in tech, are terrible at reading and understanding URLs to begin with, so I'm not sure that there's any point to be gained here.
- rebane2001 2y agoIt'd be impossible to prevent non-full URLs without also imposing extremely heavy restrictions on images, styling, and html. There are way too many ways to hide, spoof, or obfuscate an url. And even then, you'd need to somehow render the link in a way where the average user can understand it (which part of the URL is the domain and what implications it has).
