I love the promotional filter. I can look through the 50-60 promos and newsletters I get every day at one shot, open the 0-5 that look interesting then wipe everything. Then something happened where Bryan Harris' VideoFruit emails started coming directly into my inbox rather than the promo folder where they had been. Guess which is the only email list I've unsubscribed from in the last month?

I like the promotional filter too. I never open it.

Which is a shame, because you're incentivizing people to try and get around it. Nobody's forcing you to sign up for these email lists, and you can unsubscribe at any time. I don't understand the hate these lists garner.

You will never convince me that Microsoft rendering HTML using the MS Word engine is a feature.

I had nightmares about this during the project. I am not even joking.

You don't have to convince me. Writing HTML e-mails, especially for higher ups that have no concern for the limitations of the platform, is awful. This is why I just insist on using Mailchimp templates these days[1]. They've done the hard work, it just works (usually), let's just focus on content.

[1]Pick your poison, but I find Mailchimp a great mix of easy to use, flexible, and functional.
