   HTML is more accessible than plain text because you can add semantic markup or style it selectively. All of these things give hints to screen readers and plain text doesn't.

     @sun Image embedding and highlighting in email is very important when interacting with stupid people.

     @sun@shitposter.world problem is that if you want any moderately fancy emails to show up mostly the same over different clients, it has to be tables, as the support of other features is intentionally limited

     @ignaloidas that is true but I think you can block em at the client level. unless it's embedded in an image needed for displaying in the page but the image could be inline using data URIs

     @sun If it would be roughly the same subset of HTML as Pleroma I'd agree and most of the time things like lynx are able to read HTML emails fine.
     And when it can't, it's almost always spam trying to avoid detection with things like images of rendered text.
