And once again, the anti-HTML zealots are out in force, declaring that just because they don't like HTML email, no one else should be permitted to receive HTML email.
A counterpoint:
I subscribe to several HTML newsletters, and the fact that they are in HTML is a huge advantage to me. It means that JavaScript Weekly (Peter Cooper's newsletter) isn't just a mass of URLs. And it means that I can quickly preview the newest fonts from FontShop without having to visit their site.
You may not like HTML email, but it has tangible benefits to many of us.
- FireBeyond 14y agoKinda impressive how many zealots, near-luddites HN has - I think some of the opinions on this topic are more passionate than OS or editor wars.
- subsection1h 14y agoKinda impressive how many zealots, near-luddites HN Disliking HTML email makes someone a near-Luddite?
- FireBeyond 14y agoNo - not at all, but making absolutist claims about it, and about how no-one should have to "endure" it, does - and there are multiple comments of that nature in this thread.
- Groxx 14y agoOr just send multipart emails. Best of both worlds (except bandwidth).
