Newsletter, Untethered

There’s no real reason you have to use a platform like Substack to send email. If you want to get into making a newsletter of your own, understand your options.

Big Email Energy

Why your favorite email newsletter (not Tedium) always gets cut off by your favorite webmail client. (It may be all the tracking stuff in the links!)

The Email Appliance

The story of the MailStation, an information appliance that didn’t do much, really, except send email. That, somehow, makes it even more interesting today.

The Inbox Pioneer

New Emails, Old Tech

How HTML helped, then hindered, the evolution of email, or why all those fancy marketing emails you get in your inbox still rely on HTML tables in 2019.

Fake Elf News

Back in 1999, the viral game Elf Bowling gained an unfounded, false reputation as a piece of malware and spyware. It was viral, but it wasn’t a virus.

A Eulogy for Eudora

Tedium is a labor of love and appreciation.

Is it weird to say we love the internet? Because at Tedium, we love the internet—as a source of never-ending research, a vessel for new ideas, and a great historical deep dive. Since 2015, we’ve been throwing two newsletters a week into inboxes the world over, and count more than 12,000 regular readers. And we’d like to keep it going a while longer, so help by sponsoring an issue or supporting us on Patreon. But please: No backlink requests.
