Hi Folks-

When emails are sent in HTML format are there features that are desired for accessibility? For example, are headers useful? One common practice for footnotes in web pages is to provide an internal link from the footnote symbol to the footnote content. Would this be desirable?

Thanks,

Jon

I don't know how it is these days, but years ago (4?) when I was creating html emails, the html support in the email clients was lousy and very inconsistent. I encourage you to do lots of testing.
