Re: Wisdom of forcing HTML e-mails

 

Samuel,


I see there is an option to force HTML e-mails.? What is the wisdom of
using or no using this option?

One effect is that it means all outbound messages have the HTML footer. Which may be a way to address your concerns about the plain-text footer.

Also it means that linkification of plain-text URLs in the message body happens in a uniform way, rather than being left to the whim of each member's email interface.

A concern is that the conversion to HTML may undo the receiving member's default font choice for emails. Some members are vision-impaired and have their email interface set to render plain text using a larger than normal font size, or a font with particularly clear letterforms.
Another argument against it is that a message converted to HTML is bloated in size for very little real benefit.
