E-Mail Accessibility

For many people in the world, access to email (or even just to a communication hub) is considered a luxury. Although the costs are dropping, these users pay heavily for every kilobyte of email received. Not all developing countries have good internet connections.

E-mails can also be difficult to read for persons with visual impairments, if the font size is small and the colour not contrasting to the background. A font size of 14 pts (Arial) and black or dark blue on white is best for persons with low vision.
