Haha, nice. I don't find this to be that big a problem, but interesting find nonetheless. What would be an appropriate workaround, if one was to fix this? |
This isnt really a fault with gmail, just confusing. |
Confusing for sure. Maybe it'll be useful if the real "me" (meaning the account owner) is marked bold, underlined or differenced some way. At least, we know spam filter works well... |
Agreed it's not a big problem, I think it's a very exotic thing to happen. A fix: expand all addresses that start with "me*" to show the full email (in that case, the display would have been "meaaronsw.com", not just "me", getting rid of all ambuigities... and perhaps do the same for "you" or any email starting with the Gmail user's first name, e.g. if your name is John then the email of another John should be expanded to e.g. "johnbla.com"). |
Another fix is to add just the at-sign after each email user, e.g. me (for meaaronsw.com), john (for johnbla.com). Heck, hovering over the at-sign could even trigger a tooltip showing the full email address. |
Roger Browne: That would make it once again unreadable... |
Or, instead of placing the whole mewhatever.com, replace the name "me" with the domain name. |
also spam mails have subject as " Re: "
|
It gets confusing in cases where I have gotten what seem to be legitimate emails addressed to me. Expanding the information reveals it was sent to someone else and my name doesn't appear at all, implying either I was on the BCC and it's not showing me (but the email seemed legitimate and I didn't know the sender), or the email got misaddressed to me. |
Talking about Gmail, I wonder when will they add new interesting features....? it's been a while.. |
Or fix the annoying 'archive' bug. I can only only archive mails from 'All mail' box. If I archive in my Inbox, they keep comming back. |
