I have a system that emails programmatically generated emails hundreds of times daily. They are going to open in outlook which I know will render the HTML differently than IE and disable scripting. But are there any upcoming standards that will allow one to JavaScript-ify their HTML emails?
Will it always be to big of a security risk? Is there no way for a client such as gmail to limit all JS operations to inside the body of the message? Will always be just too risky? What about future versions of outlook like office 2010?
Considering that even HTML / CSS support in email is rather limited it’s safe to say that we’re not going to see JavaScript supported in the nearby future. Not that I’m unhappy about that 🙂
