That's why we create our newsletter from scratch each week, to highlight the articles we think you'll love and round up some of our top stories.</blockquote><br /><br />I sent them the following reply:<br /><br /><blockquote>You have officially been creepy.<br /><br />I read this newsletter every time it shows up in my Inbox. I read it in mutt, a text-only e-mail client, I never open the links from the e-mail, no images or other links that might be followed if it were opened in an HTML capable e-mail client are ever followed. If I've missed something, I go find it manually in my browser.<br /><br />So, no, you're never going to see that I have opened this e-mail newsletter.</blockquote><br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=sraun&ditemid=1065712" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments
