Hey Brandon,
I don't think it pissed anyone off, at least not to the point that the message 
should have been blocked and bounced entirely. They re-sent the same message 
and subject without the emoji and it delivered without a problem with expected 
engagement metrics. Seemed like a pretty harsh spam filter overreaction to an 
emoji....

 Huh, wonder if that got caught in an existing spam rule, an ML inferred rule, 
or just that quickly pissed off users to mark it as spam?

Happy Cyber Monday, ya'll.
Not sure who needs to hear this, but sender with high domain / IP rep added a 
checkmark emoji ✅ to their From name and Gmail blocked it entirely as 
unsolicited mail... on Black Friday. Gmail is 70% of their customer list... I 
mean, I get it, probably not the wisest move, but...
Hope this helps someone someday.
