[CEUD-ICT] Accessible HTML email

[Donal J. Rice]

Hi,

  >> I did try to look this up on the NDA contractors list, but it seems to
  have gone. Is that so?
  Yes, afraid so Fiachra.

  On the TEN "standard", we discussed this back in July 2006 (I knew there
  was a reason I put a search engine onto the list archives).   [1]
Regards,
Dónal.

I don't know about accessible hosted email providers as such but have you
heard of the TEN (Text Email Newsletter) standard produced by the eAccess
newsletter?  This standard was developed by Headstar in partnership with
the RNIB (Royal National Institute for the Blind) in the UK.

Whilst it isn't the most pretty of newsletters and may not appeal to those
with strong design requirements it is as far as I can see one of the best
approaches for achieving the greatest levels of accessibility in emails.

  I know that there are particular problems with accessible HTML email,
  mainly due to the standards non-compliance of many email clients. But
  most HTML email (partly because of this) also comes with a link to "read
  this email in your browser". There is no reason that browser version
  should not be accessible to AA or better.

  That said,does anyone on the list have experience of getting good
  accessibility from a hosted email provider, in this coutnry or abroad?

  (I did try to look this up on the NDA contractors list, but it seems to
  have gone. Is that so?)
