Change

[gerbie]

Someone gets a new e-mail address. This happens. They send you a message that they will change the address. But they send this message from their old address! Instead of just saving the address (easy), I have to copy and paste the new one, go through several screens before I can save their new address. Pet hate!

thank you!!!!

I'm glad I'm not the only one who finds the annoyance in this!!!!

(although perhaps they are thinking that people won't open email from an unrecognizable address)

It's just lazyness, I always check my junkmail folder as well, there isn't a problem there. They are just to lazy to copy their whole address book into a new one.

But what if I sent you an email pretending to be a friend with a new address, you'd trust me! Hahaha, then my evil plan can unfold.

If I didn't recognize at least something in the name of the sender, I wouldn't open it.

Then again, a friend pretending to be a friend? How does that work...
