Microsoft Outlook Playbook

Overview

It can be helpful to remind others to create accessible content.  You might need this because you're using a screen reader, have color blindness, or simply want email that's easier to read. When configured, this setting will add a reminder to the sender's compose window, similar to an out of office message. The reminder will let the sender know you're requesting that their email be accessible and provides a link for them to launch the Accessibility Checker.
