The battle for web standards in browsers has largely been won — browsers are much better than even, and even those manufacturers that still have room to improve appear to be making sincere efforts to do so. But, the same can not be said for e-mail clients. Some (like Mail.app and Thunderbird) mooch off existing rendering engines (WebKit and Gecko, respectively), and therefore do a great job of rendering HTML and CSS e-mail. Others do a ridiculously poor job.
Love it or hate it, HTML e-mail is here to stay, and I’m glad to see someone setting out to solve the rendering problem in e-mail clients much the same way the web standards movement solved the rendering problem in browsers. The client tests alone are worth bookmarking this site for.
