Re: [PWP] HTML email

Note also that there is a CG for HTML emails, although it doesn't seem to be very active:

PS: some people say developing ebooks is like doing web dev in the mid 2000s; well, doing HTML email is like web dev in mid 1990s... table-based layout anyone?

Some sort of an HTML 'profile' (or 'vernacular'?) for email format, email clients, etc. I know that this comes up, time to time, but I have never seen any systematic work towards this. PWP, after all, is 'just' collecting mutually interdependent resources and, in this case, pivot is the HTML content, PWP would just make sure that all necessary additions would be considered as one unit…
