Thanks, all, for the valuable feedback!

We add role="presentation" to each of our layout tables to reduce noise.

Subject: Re: [WebAIM] Poll: HTML Emails vs. Plain Text Emails

I didn't mention in my prior email. I do prefer email. But I hate HTMl emails using table formatting, especially they are nested or non-symmetric layout. As screen readers fail to read them correctly. Tables that use 3 by 3 grids work fine.
