Yahoo! Mail acknowledges spacing issues

Posted by Mathew Patterson on June 20, 2008 in

We’ve posted about recent changes in paragraph spacing that many people have noticed in Yahoo! Mail. An update on the Yahoo! Mail blog confirms they are aware of some problems.

Just a quick update for those of you concerned about the spacing in HTML emails.  Our engineers have sleuthed out the problem, and a fix will be rolling out in the coming weeks. 

Thanks to the Yahoo! team for being open about these issues and for actively working on them — a model which other email client providers would do well to follow.

I’m not commenting the above post, but about the email standard project, it’s a great idea, does standarization means we can have various emails such as gmail, yahoo, msn on one platform?

Is there a list anywhere highlighting all the indiviudal peculiarities experienced across multiple mail clients? The spacing issue mentioned above is one I haven’t even noticed yet!  I keep getting strange Gmail glitches just now and seem to be fixated on these.

I signed up for a yahoo mail account a couple of days ago after using gmail for about 2 years now. Looks much better than gmail.
