My lists deal with people who are deaf-blind. They constantly struggle with people who "engineer them out" by ignoring their technology needs. Screen readers and braille output devices are better now at handling html than in the past, but ascii still reigns supreme. Colors, graphics and fancy fonts make the message more difficult to receive. Companies or government agencies that send email that is unreadable to a certain segment of the population may be in violation of The American Disabilites Act (ADA).
