Well if people read them and click on the links from these emails, then you must be wrong. Surprise! Did you even read the post?

I am surprised at how I randomly go to my spam email address once a few months and end up interacting with services that I thought I would never go back to
It is like they get a second chance for sending me emails and not giving up on me.

#10Modern email should be completely banning any markup but spaces, going to UTF-8-32 encoding. Maaaybe increasing the maximum column width from 80 to 120, but that's stretching it (hehe).
