The newly founded Email Standards Project recently a project called “Project Gmail Grimace“, asking people (main audience: web designers) to take a picture of “the face they make when trying to get their emails to render properly in Gmail.”

(Gmail has “a few issues” rendering emails, based on the Email Standards Project’s standard. On the other hand, AOL Webmail, Windows Live Mail, and Yahoo! Mail provides solid supports.)

To be part of the movement, take a photo of your face (or somebody else’s), join Project Gmail Grimace’s Flickr group, and post your photo. If you don’t have a Flickr account and doesn’t want to register one, you can email your photo directly to them. You can find out more about this on their blog.

(I don’t really want fancy emails, but) Spread the word.
