More bitchin' about my uni 

HTML email is a fucking mess, and my uni's housing department's emails prove it. It is literally tables upon tables upon tables filled with images and nothing shows up *in my university's webmail*. I can't even view this shit through the client they give us. And guess what? No alt-text. At least, none I can see or make use of. All of this just to tell me when apartment renewals open up (or, rather, fail to tell me, as there is no discernable info in this email).

More bitchin' about my uni 

1) Fuck HTML email. Fucking send me plain text, god damn it.

2) Unless there's stuff I'm missing, I'm pretty sure this violates regulations regarding accessibility.

Seriously, though. There is no excuse in 2020 to be sending HTML email. You can almost assuredly get your point across just as well with a plain text email.

Fuck HTML email.
