As you may be aware we publish the Top Tech Tidbits, Access Information News, AI-Weekly and Title II Today email newsletters. We have been publishing via email to the AT community since 2004. Here is what we have learned in 20 years. If you want true, real, able-to-be-remediated accessibility in an email newsletter, then you must forego templates in their entirety. Relying on a template means relying on the template provider for remediation, which is, basically, a loop of death. Nothing every actually becomes accessible. You just spend your days trading emails with support in which they assure you that your concerns have been “passed up the chain.” To get around this, back in 2004, we switched to a provider (Contant Contact) that allowed us to code our own HTML for each newsletter. Not just the template. The contents as well. EVERYTHING. This way, we can remediate and standardize that code (which we have done over the last 20 years) to address all of the many concerns that readers have in accessing the newsletters using various assistive technologies. The result are the newsletters that tens of thousands of AT subscribers, all over the world, read each week. In short, the killer app for true email accessibility is the ability to custom code. How do you know your code is correct / accessible each time? You run it through the W3C’s HTML Markup Validation Service located at: <a href="https://validator.w3.org/">https://validator.w3.org/</a>. Each newsletter that we publish must pass this check. But be warned. Email HTML is WAY behind today’s HTML standards. So you will still need to live with some deprecations that you will not be able to get rid of. This is, very unfortunately, the current state of the technology where email accessibility is concerned. Hope this helps. Happy to answer any additional questions anyone might have.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:Roboto'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><p
