Digital agency Headstar has published the Text Email Newsletter Standard, or TEN
Standard, designed to “ease navigation of plain text email newsletters by all readers,
including those using screen-readers and other special access technologies.”
While
much effort has gone into making Web pages accessible, e-mail accessibility has 
often been overlooked by publishers. Although it is a more basic method of communication
there are still a number of common errors that can make it difficult or even impossible
for some recipients to read the message.

Hence the need for the standard which was developed by E-Access Bulletin, a free
e-mail newsletter on access to technology by visually impaired people published 
by Headstar with RNIB.
