Q3 2024
HTML emails
August 5, 2024
We have developed a new email parsing and rendering system to improve how emails are displayed in FirstQuadrant. Previously, emails were displayed as plain text, which made it difficult to read and understand the content, especially for emails with complex formatting or images. With this improved experience, emails are now rendered as full HTML, which means that they will look exactly as they do in your email client.
We have also added some sprinkles of magic to make the email reading experience even better. For example, signatures and disclaimers are faded out to make them less distracting, and custom styling is limited to make sure that emails are consistent and easy to read.
