Tuesday Tip Day Post – August 31, 2021
In the wizarding world of Harry Potter, nearly every witch or wizard dares not utter Voldemort’s name and refers to him instead with monikers such as “You-Know-Who” and “He Who Must Not Be Named.” Whenever his name is spoken aloud, bad things happen.
We face a similar situation at the Maine Indoor Air Quality Council (MIAQC) with our newsletters and blog posts. When we specifically reference the ongoing airborne illness that has taken over the world–a.k.a. “The Airborne Illness That Must Not Be Named”–bad things happen to our message deliverability.Most mail receivers and filters have tightened their security due to the influx of pandemic scams and phishing attempts, so that emails with content referencing “The Airborne Illness That Must Not Be Named” are sent directly to your junk folder. This means that messages containing important information about “The Airborne Illness That Must Not Be Named” are filtered out of your inbox right along with junk messaging.
The air quality of indoor spaces is more important now than ever. At MIAQC, we are committed to delivering useful tips and information backed by science to create the healthiest indoor spaces possible. To avoid getting flagged and filtered out, you may notice us referring to “You-Know-What” as “The Airborne Illness That Must Not Be Named,” just like they do towards the archenemy in the Harry Potter series.
