[quote=snailmale]My 'Writers' Online' has turned up OK, but I'm not a trouble-maker. [/quote]
Mine hasn't. I'm going to scream and scream and scream till I'm sick.
(Or maybe that was the half of a tart with raspberry sauce under a creme brulee topping that I've just consumed.)
Baggy - I'm really confused. As you are a subscriber, you should only need to type in your surname, postcode and account number, then the system will fill in your other details automatically when you click "Find my account", then "Update". It looks like it already has an account for you though.
Don't be smug, SM, it's unbecoming. I'm not making a fuss. I'm feeling unloved. Deprived. Left out.
You've got one that you haven't read, I can't read one I haven't got. Two sides of but a single coin.
Thanks, Webbo - I'll listen for the ping of Thunderbird telling me it's here. Good luck with the technicals. Computers are designed to make all our lives simple and uncomplicated; the gap between design and completion, however, is a wide one.
You are receiving this email as your friend Mr Webbo with the email address [email protected] chose to forward it to you. They also included the following message:
Mine actually starts 'Dear Alan, well, another busy month at Writers's on Line.' its only a short Mail,. Not expecting War and Peace were you? Perhaps Peter's died and Webbo sent you the spare to keep you quiet.
That is the expected behaviour BB - the newsletter gets sent out in bulk, but has an option to "Forward to a friend", which is how I sent it on to you. But that doesn't generate a newsletter for you, just copies the one that was sent to me, so it knows your name at the top (cos I told it!) but can't actually amend the real content (starting "Dear Peter").

Shouldn't this be on the 'Scoff' thread?

Now to investigate our neverending tech quagmire.
I've just received an email from a Mr Webbo - it begins...Dear Peter
So Willy must be Webbo's first name?
*wonders who Peter is*
The email:
Dear Helen Baggott,
You are receiving this email as your friend Mr Webbo with the email address [email protected] chose to forward it to you. They also included the following message:
"Hope you get this"
When I clicked on the view online thingy:
Dear Peter,
Well, another busy month at Writers Online...
*Saves email to savour later.*
I've had it for today.

I don't even care who Dear Peter is.
Have a great Easter break everybody!
Not much left to say...

Ooo-er.
I've forwarded mine, it was bad enough Baggy throwing her toys out of the pram.
That was 12 months back, dread to think what it's like now.
*gulps*
[quote=Webbo]did you see my post higher up[/quote]
*nods*
Tried that.
[quote=snailmale]all will be forgotten.[/quote]
Do you really believe that?
[quote=Tiny Nell]Ooo-er.[/quote]
Impressive, isn't he?
[quote=snailmale]I've forwarded mine, it was bad enough Baggy throwing her toys out of the pram.[/quote]
Hmmmm.
*wonders why I didn't get that kind of offer*
It was such an obvious thing to do I never thought about it. Anyway, you were enjoying being hard done by.
[quote=Phots Moll]Thanks, Snailmale - I got your forwarded copy.[/quote]
I'm starting at WM after Easter as Webbo's PA. Rubbish salary, but fantastic expenses.
*sighs*
