Keith JenkinsWho decided that people should be able to control the fonts and font sizes in the e-mails they send, when in fact people are unable to control the fonts and font sizes in the e-mails they send?
Atanas@kgjenkins First thing I do in every email client is disable HTML email. Goes much further than just removing ugly fonts and colors.
Adam@AtanasE @kgjenkins I spent *literally years* explaining these things to people when html email and sending PDFs first started.
The effort didn't fail because I suck at communicating or that html formatting is better. It turns out the exec/admin class is happy to spend $$$$$$ storing html cruft and attachments that could be text and spending hours formatting so they can show off to their 5 mates. 🤷
(at the time we were still communicating with ppl on dialup modems! and hosted our own ISP)
@AtanasE @kgjenkins it has escalated a lot since.. just yesterday I spent time reposting a html email transmission from an open source geo org to a public list, *removing all the trackers from links*
HTML email stinks. Unfortunately, it sells...
@AtanasE You also get gems like this when the alt-text from the HTML image is displayed instead
@kgjenkins "it looks good on my computer"
