Someone so converted they've made your inbox their pulpit.
means A person who zealously promotes a cause, product, or belief, trying to convert others to it.
from From Greek 'euangelion' meaning 'good news' or 'good message' — 'eu' (good) plus 'angelos' (messenger, the same root that gives us 'angel'). It entered English through Church Latin and Old French referring specifically to the writers of the four Gospels, those tasked with spreading the 'good news' of Christianity. The word stayed largely religious for centuries before secular usage crept in, stretching 'evangelist' to cover anyone preaching their gospel of choice — software, diets, startups — with the same fervor once reserved for salvation.
