>I worked on it for a bit and i can assure you email clients are the biggest shit.

All the complaints you listed are features in my book. The only problem is that they even allow what they do.

Exactly. There is no way in hell I want JavaScript running in my email.

You will never convince me that Microsoft rendering HTML using the MS Word engine is a feature.

I had nightmares about this during the project. I am not even joking.

You don't have to convince me. Writing HTML e-mails, especially for higher ups that have no concern for the limitations of the platform, is awful. This is why I just insist on using Mailchimp templates these days[1]. They've done the hard work, it just works (usually), let's just focus on content.

[1]Pick your poison, but I find Mailchimp a great mix of easy to use, flexible, and functional.
