tip for gmail users

[rm]

If you are on AOL, and use multiple email identities, they may combine into one thread on Gmail. Hence the person who sent me a message about their services, and a "fake" recommendation from another AOL screenname just got busted.

Busted! That's interesting to know.

I was amused. I am actually using this person's services anyway, but I'm debating whether to tell them what I know.

I don't get it. Is it spam or someone you know?

I posted to Craigslist looking for recommendations for getting my reel done.

I had several business owners contact me and one person refer me to one of those business owners. I selected said business owner base dont he quality of his product as shown at his website, then remembered after the fact that someone had recommended him as well, so I emailed her in thanks.

When she replied, it combined into the thread with the original business owner's communication to me, despite the different subject lines. Hence, busted.

Wild. I'm going to have to test it.

Ah, the wonder of mail headers.
