LOL. From over at the bad site:
An html email will crash Outlook.
Granted, it's "harmless" (stack overflow (exhaustion)), but I dunno... I sort of expect the act of rendering an HTML email that uses CSS to not crash my mail client?

@wdormann The state of CSS is in the Microsoft Word HTML rendering engine in a very sad state in general ^^

@wdormann
well, tbf, html mail rendering has always been a security concern in general and nobody should have it enabled by default

@wdormann There was something similar when Outlook 2013 was released (though IIRC, you didn't even have to open the message, just trying to download it was enough; and of course it happened on my boss' machine, figuring out which e-mail it was was fun).

I'm no expert, but I get the impression that Microsoft Word is perhaps not the best choice for rendering HTML content.
But what else is Outlook supposed to use to render HTML emails?

@wdormann We should never have put HTML into email. Markdown ok, but HTML...

@wdormann They could use the Microsoft Edge WebView2 engine
But I think they would need to add all stuff to Microsoft Edge to not break mails which are written specific with Microsoft Word/Outlook in mind. -
@Taco_lad @scottwilson
I think thatwwlib.dll(Microsoft Word) was indpendently developed from IE or any of the other web engines that may be present on Windows. -

@wdormann Microsoft Outlook started off pretty good, but it vaulted over every stage of decline straight to enshittification before it was fashionable and it will never not be hot garbage.
Itβs so irredeemably bad in every way.
