Hey #EmailGeeks! 👋 I finally dusted off my Medium account and did some science-ing on @gmail 's “102KB” clipping limit with some controlled tests on on different TXT, AMP, and HTML MIME part sizes. Hope you guys find it useful! alicelicode.medium.com/does-…

If the fact that your emails aren't Accessible doesn't get it prioritized in your backlog, maybe making it more AI-optimized will? Just a helpful thought 😘 Read our report here for more details: MrEmail.dev/3PFRAR8 #EmailMarketing #A11Y #Accessibility #EmailGeeks #AI

Email Markup Consortium's 2026 Email Accessibility Report shows that 99.88% of HTML emails tested contain accessibility issues categorized as "Serious" or "Critical". (That means: Probably your emails, too)

If you follow the rules of digital Accessibility, you're making your emails more machine-readable. If you make your emails more machine-readable, that means that AI agents can parse it more easily. And that means your AI inbox placement will be optimized!

It's also worth re-iterating in this AI-inundated industry, on Global Accessibility Awareness Day (#GAAD), that: ✨ Accessible Email is AI-Optimized Email ✨

New this year in our 5th edition: Marketing and newsletter platforms that own the HTML code of the emails sent by its customers. Millions of users may be sending inaccessible emails, and they don't even know it!

Accessibility in email is hard enough. When email clients block even the most basic accessibility features, they’re not limiting creativity; they’re limiting access.

"The report outlines a set of 20 HTML, CSS, and ARIA features they look for and found that only one email client of the 44 evaluated supports all of the features. Apple Mail and Samsung Email are apparently close behind, but the other 41? Not so much" css-tricks.com/html-email-ac…

Here are the images I used to test -- HDR super-bright eyes (just opening this on Chrome and viewing it on a Macbook screen, you can see how extremely bright it is) drive.google.com/file/d/1hHj… Normal eyes (apologies for the blurriness) drive.google.com/file/d/1mci…

Also to note that it only works in Chrome (the top 2 browsers are Firefox & Safari)

Surprisingly (and thankfully?) it doesn't work in Apple Mail or Outlook for MacOS though...

So I decided to try testing HDR images in email (because I'm an #EmailGeek, duh) to see if this was a possibility and... it is 🫠 Here are phone pics of how it looks in Gmail, Yahoo, AOL, and Outlook (web)

Has anyone seen HDR emojis on Slack yet? Basically they stay at 100% eye-searing brightness and sometimes dims the rest of the screen to appear even brighter ☠️ Being my anxious self, I worry about Accessibility when someone decides they want their logos in HDR to "make it pop"
