Every email inbox will have an agent gatekeeper soon, and the only way through will be a warm intro or being interesting enough that the agent decides you're worth its person's time.

Sending out the first newsletter in a while tomorrow. It includes a bit of commentary on design, philosophy and arguing with people on the internet. Might be worth a read.

@CustomerIO Found another bug—events being sent don't work in A/B tests. They work fine for A, but error for B.

@CustomerIO I'm unable to preview or test any new emails that I create. Looks like the tabs aren't working. Any idea what's wrong?

Thanks for the retweet @aarron As a founder and an Atlanta native. I love what you all do at MailChimp.

If I didn't sign up for your email, won't just report you as spam. I'll file a complaint with MailChimp or your provider.

Dear Email Marketers,

If you hide your unsubscribe link I'll mark you as spam. That will get you out of my inbox.
