dudes...

webmail seriously needs a thing that tells you to include your email address in the body of the text so that the recipient can write you back!

i guess it should be obvious but it seems like most people would forget, or assume that info is somehow pasted into the email. i've received a bunch that i could not reply to.

it doesnt even need to be a code change, you could just put some sort of warning at the top of the page or somethin somethin!!

dude it says who sent you the webmail, couldnt you just go find a post by them and click on their name/send webmail to this user?

I'm pretty sure this isn't an oversight. Some folks want to send mail without revealing their own address.

Perhaps a good way to deal with this issue would be to pre-populate the text field with the user's email address, like "reply-to: s1ut✧✧✧@gm✧✧✧.c✧✧".

ya im just saying a little nudge would be helpful

Well, a reference to the original message would be best.

Then, the recipient can go back to the message, click on the name, send reply, and security is preserved.

Yeah I've gotten emails before (and today) with no idea who they were from.

Its pretty annoying, sorry.

actually, my suggestion is wrong.

Maybe a link in the message, like the one on a posted message,with the registered name, clickable, and etc...
