Hello, I do not have the bandwidth to join another community group. I support the effort, and can provide examples of difficult/impossible to navigate emails, but my primary focus is on publishing and the web. Best George From: Wayne Dick <wayneedick@gmail.com> Sent: Thursday, May 27, 2021 1:59 PM To: Karen Lewellen <klewellen@shellworld.net> Cc: Charles 'chaals' (McCathie) Nevile <chaals@yandex.ru>; W3C WAI ig <w3c-wai-ig@w3.org> Subject: Re: WAI needs to address email explicitly Hello Karen, George and Anna, Chaas has suggested a community group on HTML based email at https://www.w3.org/community/htmail/ Let's all join. Email seems like a good place to start. Thank You Chaas and all the rest. Special thanks to Patrick who had to put up with my dissatisfaction when he tried to help with my ambiguous first email. I think joining this group is a good start. HTML FOR EMAIL COMMUNITY GROUP <https://www.w3.org/community/htmail/> Thanks to all Wayne On Thu, May 27, 2021 at 11:42 AM Karen Lewellen <klewellen@shellworld.net <mailto:klewellen@shellworld.net> > wrote: Hi everyone, Please let me know how to join. Email is one of those things that connects critically with many individuals daily lives where accessibility is concerned. Meaning changes to access can quite honestly cut off a person from reaching goods services and communities. would love to be a part of this group.
