For the first time, the 2026 Email Accessibility Report audited newsletter and marketing platforms with built-in email builders.

We analyzed:
• 6,909 @Substack emails
• 2,189 @beehiiv emails
• 1,468 @Shopify Email campaigns

[Email Markup Consortium @EmailMarkup]

100% triggered at least one automated accessibility failure.

These findings indicate that platform defaults and generated markup have enormous influence over accessibility outcomes at scale.

While developers play a role, this is a systemic ecosystem problem across senders, tooling and email clients.

In 2022, we began our Data Collection project with a clear vision for how this data could benefit the ecosystem starting with our annual accessibility reports. Today, we’re excited to announce the next major step in that vision:

Proton Mail (@ProtonPrivacy) noticed that some of their data on "Can I Email?" was outdated, and took the initiative to update it themselves. As a result, our 2025 Accessibility Report now reflects a much more accurate picture of Proton Mail’s strong accessibility support.

@ProtonPrivacy This kind of openness and collaboration benefits everyone in the email ecosystem. We’d love to see more email clients follow Proton Mail’s lead in sharing accurate, transparent data with the community.

No need to reinvent the wheel. Just a shared, interoperable way to explicitly set the preview text.

For years, email developers have relied on invisible spacing hacks to influence what appears alongside the subject line in the inbox. But there can be a cleaner, more consistent approach: a simple meta tag.

[Email Markup Consortium @EmailMarkup]

Our latest blog post explores how preview text could be standardized using a metadata-based solution, which aligns with how Google's Gmail and Yahoo Mail already support Schema structured data in emails today.

Accessibility in email is hard enough. When email clients block even the most basic accessibility features, they’re not limiting creativity; they’re limiting access.

In celebration of #GAAD, we have published our annual email accessibility report.

Accessibility in HTML emails remains critically under-addressed in 2025. Across the ecosystem, accessibility failures are systemic, widespread, and largely preventable.

This is a fun frontend challenge. You don't have to be interested in email to find this interesting and discuss it with us.
