Nostalgia, in the inimitable style of Jamie Zawinski: “HTML email is probably my fault”. All of it is a great read–full marks, absolutely no notes.
Thank you, Jamie, for everything you did for the web, even if this date also commemorates when Netscape unleashed the horrors of JavaScript upon the world.
On a more personal note, I remember using this on both Sun and HP machines, which was pretty amazing at the time. I also remember the Collabra fracas, which I had some hopes for, but it was just not to be (tangentially related: Hula, which Jamie also had some opinions about).
Note: due to Jamie’s strong opinions about linking, you might need to edit the URL to remove
utm_fields, even though I use them to provide sites with referral source information and no individual tracking whatsoever. If you know Jamie, please tell him to chill out a bit. Thanks!
