Untitled!?

Am I the only one who have received a Lotus developerWorks newsletter with "Untitled" as the subject (see screenshot below)? The e-mail was very close to getting marked as SPAM... Not good!

No, you're definitely not the only one. I've been wondering myself ...

I've gotten one of those as well. My first thought was that someone had forgotten to fill out all fields of some kind of newsletter template.

Mine did make it into my gmail spam folder, and had I not checked my spam folder out before whacking it all, I wouldn't have caught the newsletter at all.

I got one this morning too. I was about to question my spam filter because there is no way a business should have let this slip through the cracks.

I got that one too. I also received a couple of spam message with attachments to my PartnerWorld email address. Owning my own domain, I use different email addresses for different organizations and it looks some low life harvested addresses from the PartnerWorld directory...

Tara Hall from the developerWorks Lotus team blog has an explanation.

Part of the reason I posted about the "Untitled" newsletter was that I thought it was kind of funny that I would receive a newsletter about Lotus Notes without a subject. A newsletter about a product that recently implemented a safeguard in the mail template to warn users of sending e-mails without a subject... :-)

That's all... No harm intended.

No harm done, Mikkel. Even Tara Hall jokes about it :-)
