On 27th November, the Email Standards Project was officially launched.
The Email Standards Project works with email client developers and the design community to improve web standards support and accessibility in email.
Our goal is to help designers understand why web standards are so important for email, while working with email client developers to ensure that emails render consistently. This is a community effort to improve the email experience for both designers and readers alike.
The project has, unsurprisingly, received a warm welcome with word spreading through the blogosphere and a Facebook group dedicated to the cause. I will certainly be doing my best to promote the initiative.
