[Editor’s Note: Guest Post and Illustration by Dave Arcade.]. Ever since we were kids we’ve heard the adage “practice makes perfect” and this is true if you don’t have access to command Z or in other words, what you do can’t be undone.

It seems inevitable. Emails generated from a WordPress website stop arriving – or get thrown into a spam folder. Email, as a certain grumpy designer once said, is the worst. Still, these messages can be important. They might be from prospective clients filling out a contact form, automated security notices or even eCommerce orders.
