The fantastic email industry resource Email Marketing Reports has posted their interview with Dave Greiner, Freshview founder and a founding member of the Email Standards Project. David goes into a little more detail about the background to the project, and gives a little hint to what's been happening since launch day. Check out the interview, and also a ton of other great resources for understanding how businesses use email.
Great report! I really appreciate Dave’s attitude in the interview, very positive, and respectful. And that is SO exciting about being contacted by one of the “big players.” ... and I would like to see a service pack to Outlook 2007 released next week. :) Had a client tell me (in more or less words) my product(simple template e-mail sender for their internal use) was “broken” and that I needed to “fix” my software after 2007 was released. This one’s personal now… :)
Keep up the good work.
Glad to see somebody doing something about this massive problem!
Still having to design email flyers in tables is really bad.
Also seems that outlook 2007 has taken a step backwards, even from windows mail, it doesnt support HTML?!?! You cant even attach a html file to use as stationary, you have to design it in their wysiwig editor!
Thanks for the kind words about EMR! Always a pleasure to publicise your great work.
Great interview with Dave and thanks for all your efforts! Hopefully all the efforts won’t go “unnoticed” by all the big players. We little people sure appreciate it! ~Ray
