Everyday at work my coworkers and I have to deal with crappy problems that occur while making email blasts and newsletters. I know most people can care less, but as web designers and developers it definitely matters. For one with the improved standards with web design it has created wonders and shaped the way we all should design with the new implemented rules and etc. Now we can welcome Email Standards.
I came across email standards looking through bloglines as usual and I am extremely happy people are taking this seriously and bringing it to the forefront. They cover issues with different email clients like how the horrible Microsoft outlook 2007 isn&rsqo;t standards approved and does things like not being able to read background images within tables, floats, clears, margin and padding. With all of these similar issues within other popular email clients such as Google&rsqo;s Gmail we are forced to strict straight forward, boring designs for these emails blasts and newsletters.
With this team of developers and designers working together to get all of these email clients to be standards savy soon enough we will be able to implement CSS within these designs and make our jobs a lot more easier. You never know.
