About the Email Standards Project

The Email Standards Project is about working with email client developers and the design community to improve web standards support and accessibility in email. The project was formed out of frustration with the inconsistent rendering of HTML emails in major email clients.

Our mission is to drive the use and support of web standards in email, working with email client developers to ensure that emails render consistently. This is a community effort to improve the email experience for designers and readers, and we’d love your help.


A good concept.

I think it is more "lets have standards so that people using disparate software can communicate with each other freely".  A variety of software means fewer people with a given vulnerability and the ability to leave a piece of software that is too vulnerable. at least until it is fixed.

The alternative is to have almost everyone using the same software so they can so communicate and all have the same holes for the black hats.
