What does a winning email look like?

Sorry, but I'm still quite new to MSE comping and have what might seem like a strange question!

What does an email you receive look like that notifies you of a win? :confused:

I tend to opt for the weekly newsletter emails in all comps I enter as I feel (not proven) that it may have some bearing on being successful of not. So of course I naturally end up with lots of dross emails in my in box on a daily basis.

So is it easy to identify an email telling me I've won by simply looking at the subject box, or do I have to open each and every email to check its content?

Thanks in advance. :confused:

    The ones that I've had usually say Congratulations or Winner in the subject somewhere ... however I do still check them all, as I have had ones in the past that I would have thought were spam and passed over based on the subject. I do tick the no further contact boxes though.

    Also had a couple go into the spam box as well.
    Thanks to all who post comps!
