  • Hi Guys!!!

    I didn't know where to post this, and have been looking all over for the answer but cannot find it...though i assume it's been asked a BILLLION times lol

    i was wondering what a winning email looked like? for instance, how to tell it apart from spam and the news letter in your mail box...

    if anyone could shed anylight

    i would really appreciate it!!! :D

    There was a really good thread on this, in the I won section of this board. Will try to find it and post a link. It involved setting up a filter on your email to look for key words like congratulations and winner. I've found several winning emails like this because they were starred in my inbox.

    ETA: Link is here scroll down the thread and there's some really good advice, especially from Green1970
    Most recent wins: IPad, Jamie Magazine yearbook, Links of London friendship bracelet, Baumatic ice cream machine! :j

    Thanks jenza, that thread had completely passed me by but I've just set up a filter on my Hotmail account. Hopefully I'll get some WEMs soon to test it out!:D
