Obituary
Sunday Letter was a newsletter tool for people who found the existing newsletter tools too large. It sent one plain-text email a week and had no tracking pixels, on principle.
It sent sixteen issues between February and May 2019. Every one was delivered and every one was opened, by the same address.
The last feature added was the unsubscribe link. It was tested once, and it worked.
