The team at FreshView, makers of the fantastic CampaignMonitor application, announced the Email Standards Project last week. The project "works with the design community and email client developers to improve web standards support in email", which is a fantastic goal. As an author of two web-based email clients, I can attest to the frustration of how standards implementation differs widely between different browsers. They've even created their own acid test for web standards compatibility, and it's curious to see that GMail rates a "Poor" score in their test.

Ahhhh. I remember the good old days when there was no HTML in email.

@ Jim: lol. You pine for the old times, eh? Do you favor ascii art over images, too? ;)
