Guess we'll find out in two days if we see any appreciable rise in "Apple Mail" share in your OP3 top apps box

 @68a77ba3 See, I wonder if email scanners will follow the link anyway. Might be an interesting watch for that URL.

The test is primed and set to send out at 7a ET today. The URL to monitor it is https://op3.dev/api/1/redirect-logs?start=2023-09-15T11:00:00.000Z&format=json&token=preview07ce&url=https://op3.dev/e,pg=9b024349-ccf0-5f69-a609-6b82873eab3c/podnews.net/audio/podnews230915.mp3?email - you'll see nothing on that until 7a ET I think.

THIS is the user-agent for Apple Mail on iOS 16.6. Yes, just "Mozilla 5.0". I can also see links for a standard WebKit control (my Mimestream email client), and my copy of Chrome when I was testing it.

Happily, my email sending software isn't obfuscating/amending/tracking the link to the audio SRC. That's good news.
