Email Standards Project

how can i test the yahoo mail using functional techniques?

I ran the acid test through my Go Daddy mail client.  The support was actually better then I expected.  Ultimately the email looks good, here’s what did not work:

background header image
background style bullet image
list style bullet (used standard bullets instead of image)
Right float with a positioned background
a:hover background image

I just ran your acid test through my Nokia N82 mobile phone, and I’m very surprised! On the N82, HTML emails appear as attachments, which can then be opened in the built-in browser.

Once opened in the browser (an easy and seamless process), everything appeared to work as intended. The backgrounds showed up, and changed as you rolled over them with the cursor; the links changed when rolled-over; the background position worked; all elements seemed to be the right size, shape and layout. The only thing that didn’t work was the element using Trebuchet MS as the font: the element appeared ok, just not in Trebuchet MS; I’d be very surprised if this was anything other than the N82 simply not having Trebuchet MS installed.

I just wish I could’ve taken a screenshot!

(For the record, the Nokia N82 runs Symbian S60 FP3, which I believe has a browser based on WebKit.)

I’m still looking for a good email client for the console, that is highly configurable and supports IMAPS, UTF-8, tagging of mails, GPG encryption and decryption, coloured thread-view, cleaning the content from those silly HTML tags, a good integration to email search and address book.
It should also be free software, so I could adapt it to my needs.

Any suggestions?

I had a go a my work email - we are using/have to use Lotus Notes 6.5

The result is, well ... not even a results in my view… have a look http://img399.imageshack.us/img399/9057/emailacidir2.png

And here how it looks in my gmail account http://img172.imageshack.us/img172/285/emailaciggmaildc6.png

bu can look your site’s comments.because someones doing spam to your blog

@eModul:
Try Mutt. I’m not sure what you mean with “clearing the content..”, but everything else should be there.

@Mathew Patterson:
Of course I read it. But you’re still misusing multipart/alternative. An introduction to your project is in no way an “alternative version” of lorem ipsum.

As for the linebreaks, they are represented as =0D=0A in quoted-printable encoding, but q-p explicitly specifies that a linebreak’s encoded form is a CRLF pair, unlike otherwise occurring CRs or LFs, which indeed are to be encoded as =0D and =0A, respectively.

And your absent reaction to the list subscription thingy means that you are truly planning to spam anyone requesting this test?

Awesome tool!  Definitely checking it out!

“But you’re still misusing multipart/alternative. An introduction to your project is in no way an “alternative version” of lorem ipsum”

I think you are wrong - the whole idea of multipart is to provide an alternative version for people who can’t view the HTML part. It is intended to convey the same information in another format.

For example, if you have a photo in your HTML, in your plain text you would explain what the photo shows.

In our case, what we are trying to show is how your email client renders HTML. Can you tell me a better way for presenting that information in plain text other than linking to the http://www.email-standards.org website?

‘Lorem Ipsum’ is *not* the information content of the email, it is mere filler. Having ‘lorem ipsum’ in the plain text would not provide anything like an alternative way of understanding the HTML version.

As for your assumption that “absent reaction to the list subscription thingy means that you are truly planning to spam anyone requesting this test?”, that is of course totally untrue. You are being put on a list to receive a copy of the email ACID test, exactly as described. You join the list, and you receive the email, and that is the end of it. For convenience we are using our list management tool, but we will never be sending to the list except for the express purpose people added their address, getting that ACID email.

I tested with Eudora 7.1, the last commercial version of Eudora, before Qualcomm decided to go open source and use Thunderbird for their engine.

I always thought Eudora 7.1 did 100% with its rendering, but I do see a few small errors:
1. the title is wrapped
2. the last block and the block with the photo and float are a bit too wide.
3. there is too much padding on the right of the photo.
4. the list images are indented a bit too much.

I signed up to test Horsebanger web based email.  It runs on the SecureServer.net email client.  Can’t wait to see the results.

I personally cannot stand in html in emails, it almost always slow down the load time for mail and doesn’t provide any other benefit for me personally.

Very cool tool, I’ll check it out. =)

I signed up to test this too, it’s a bit slow.

Good job, I tested this too.

Thanks for the great test tool.

Tested Pegasus Mail v.4.41.

Great email client in many ways. Handles rich-text well, but forget graphics and much of the HTML formatting. By design, for security reasons, it does not display linked graphics if offline, must be forced to get linked graphics if online, and does not do well at displaying embedded graphics either.
