Fascinating watching the test of embedded audio in the Podnews email. Half of the audio file requests say "range": "bytes=0-1" in the header and half don't; I'm trying to work out whether that's important.
https://livewire.io/a-tale-of-two-bytes-prefix-vs-host-based-analytics/ tells me it is a "streaming playback request". In this case, are these the only real plays - and are the ones without it an automated email scanning bot?
(What's also interesting is how many people read that far down the newsletter.)
