Hello. Yes, please don't worry - it was legitimate.

We've been sending some of our newsletters "from" Justine, as an experiment

@hollyisalovelyname

Helen why the experiment?

I think our Tech team were wondering if more people would open them if they came from Justine.

Obviously not in your case Grin

I was disappointed to find that, despite receiving an email directly from Ann McIntyre @ MNHQ, I hadn't actually won a competition . . . Grin

Oh no, how annoying! She lovely, though, that Ann: you couldn't have been disappointed by a nicer person.

@MmeLindor

I thought I was SPECIAL, and that it was cause MNHQ luffs me that they got Justine to email me.

I thought I was on The List of Favourite MNetters

Now I see it was a marketing ploy to get me to open an email, and I am distraught.

Might have to go and eat a brownie to console myself...

Ah but did it work? Wink

So sorry if we freaked you out. It was, as said, an experiment suggested by the Techies to get more folks to open our emails, and it did seem to work - open rate was considerably higher than usual. But it may well be a temporary why the jeff is this Justine person mailing me type thing. In which case, clearly, we'll revert back to MN Towers email.

I know. How cool is that!

@TwasBrillig

So do you know if person x has opened an email or just what percentage?

Clever stuff but freaked a bit by what people might know - they'd know I'd read their email and not yet replied!!

We know who has opened our mails, ie those from Mumsnet HQ. I doubt many individuals track things like that, though, as it costs money to do so.
