Web Directions Year round learning for product, design and engineering professionals

I must admit I’m old school when it comes to email – I like it plain and vanilla. I read it and write it vanilla stylee. I use *this* for emphasis. But, that’s my taste and choice (OK, so I have been using email, I kid you not, since 1985). Many others love their stylish emails, both as designers, and as recipients. But if you think web designers have challenges with browsers, then you don’t even want to think about the email client landscape.

Take a look at Dave Greiner’s detailed overview of what’s wrong, and what they think needs to be done, and if you are keen, let him know you’d be interested in lending a hand.
