I would like to format plain text emails to increase readability and information separation. The idea is to go beyond markdown and to have more visible elements.
If you do this, please have some consideration for how screen readers will handle your message. I am not an expert on them (and so I ask you go and look elsewhere for information/confirmation) but I believe if you use symbols which have a semantic meaning other than for drawing boxes, you risk your message being unintelligible to screen reader users. On the other hand there are unicode symbols that are specifically for drawing boxes which, and again I stress please fact-check me here, will not cause such problems. -- Please do not CC me for listmail. 👱🏻 Jonathan Dowland ✎ j...@debian.org 🔗 https://jmtd.net
