But that isn't the best email practice, it's the worst...

Post date: 2020-08-09 23:47:30

We have an internal email list at my organisation. My boss insisted we send an email where the entire email was one JPG. Literally, text and images were laid out on a single JPG image, and that image was hyperlinked to the destination URL we wanted people to go to. Help me strangle this travesty at birth.

She said seriously "we have to be the best at this" and this was her solution. I was so shocked that anyone thought this was a thing in 2020 that I just let it go by because I was completely unprepared to explain why this was a terrible idea.

I'd like a link or links that authoritatively explains why this is a garbage practice and is in fact the worst, not the best. Relying heavily on the core accessibility issue will not be successful; please give me more than that!
