RE: WAI needs to address email explicitly

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

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

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.
Karen
