    While this may not be a big deal to some, for people with vision difficulties this can be a huge stumbling block.

    “some users claim that Basic HTML gave disabled users – including the visually impaired – an easy and accessible way to hear their emails chronologically.”

      I know this is really niche but basic HTML webpages can be accessed from a terminal using W3M or similar software. Gmail included. It was nice while it lasted.
