Editorial interest 78/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A focused advice site answers practical email questions with verdicts of YES, NO, or IT DEPENDS, followed by technical reasoning.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-29 issue.

Field notes

Each question receives a compact verdict before the longer technical rationale. The featured answer explains multipart/alternative messages and identifies concrete beneficiaries of the text/plain half, including watches, terminal readers, screen readers, notification previews, and HTML-disabled recipients. It also warns that automatic conversion can produce gibberish in image-heavy or button-heavy templates, and recommends checking links and the unsubscribe path in the generated output.
