Why must TR keep changing the Sender and/or Subject of Newsletters?

by deepsand . Updated 18 years, 5 months ago

Example:

Through the 26 NOV issue, the “Downloads Weekly Roundup” Newsletter was [b]From[/b] “TechRepublic Downloads Weekly Update,” with the [b]Subject[/b] being “[TechRepublic] Downloads Weekly Roundup — …”.

With the 03 DEC issue, the [b]From[/b] field changed to “Downloads at TechRepublic,” while the [b]Subject[/b] field changed to ” [TechRepublic] Downloads at TechRepublic.”

The 10 DEC issue saw the [b]From[/b] field change to “Downloads.”

This is but one example of what has happened with various TR Newsletters in recent times.

For those of us who employ filters for the sorting of incoming e-mail, this is no small inconvenience, particularly for those with a high volume of unfiltered mail going into ones general In-Box.

Please stick with [b]constant[/b] e-mail Header Fields unless there is a compelling reason for change.

And, when such change is to be effected, kindly do as others do, and give subscribers [b]advance notice[/b] of the changes that they will need to make to their e-mail filters.
