HTML5 and video in email – One particular area of interest to me was the HTML5 <video> tag. The aim of this tag was to provide native video support using a single codec across all browsers without the need for third party plugins like Flash. While the dream of a universal codec appears unlikely, one clever project has surfaced that uses the <video> tag for browsers that support it and falls back on traditional video options for those that don't.
