What do winning e-mails look like

Hi all

I know this may sound like a really really silly question, but I was wondering what winning e-mails look like?? My experience of the 2 winning e-mails that I've ever received is that they are usually from a named individual.

However in saying that because of all the comp entries - I receive so much junk to my inbox and junk mail that I usually delete hundreds of e-mails a day without properly reading / checking them e.g. newsletters etc.

I was wondering if that's a mistake or whether if it's a WEM it will say so in the Subject Field. :confused::confused::confused:

    I'd say that there is no hard & fast rules.I've set filters up on my account to try & spot wem's but the odd one has slipped through.Luckily I've spotted them.
    Personally I don't get too hung up on deleting emails.Most free email accounts have loads of capacity and will take thousands of standard emails.At the moment I have 21,000 unopened emails so maybe I could do with a tidy up.:D

    I need a tidy up as well c13k :eek:

    I check my emails a few times a day and also a few times a week I put CONGRATULATIONS in the search field of my incoming emails. Usually picks the WEM up (not as many as I would like tho' :rotfl:) as most I have come across include this in their email to you. Just use it as a back up in case I missed one!

    Hope this helps.
