Whenever I read one of these 'x iterations of y' emails, I always find myself thinking how obviously stupid some of the earlier iterations are. I mean, of course an actual check box in an email is confusing, why would you ever do that? And then they go back to a checkbox graphic, but this time it is ticked!
Is this a case of hindsight is 20-20, or something else?
