Ask HN: Sending a newsletter on a Friday?

Hello,

I have a few thousands email subscribers for one of my project. I usually send them emails at the beginning of the week, and have good open rates (>50%).

However, this week I'd really like to send one email on Friday (tomorrow), and I'm afraid to get a lower open rate than usual.

Do you know if sending an email on Friday is bad for open rates? Any study about that, or personal experience?

Thanks!

Sending an email on a Friday isn't inherently terrible.

Sending an email on the Fourth of July holiday is.

That's a really good point. Thanks.
