Against my better judgment, tomorrow I’m going to be building and optimizing a framework for a new HTML-based email newsletter that our other site is sending out. Most of you already know how I feel about rich-formatted email. It doesn’t matter whether it’s just one or two words coloured all nice and pretty in Eudora or some bastardized, tagged-up mess puked out by some Microsoftian wizard. It’s just wrong. My ears are bleeding just thinking about it. But because this email will use HTML, and that’s the kind of thing I’m paid to sweat about, I’m insisting that the code be so clean it squeaks. If even one person with a marginally adequate, HTML-compatible mail client sees this message — it’s going to knock their freaking socks across the room. But it’s still wrong.
