I emailed this to someone via the COntact Us area but thought it might get feedback here...

When I get emails for Topic Alerts, it would be great if the Thread Title was in the subject line.

Right now it just has the keyword I searched for which isn't nearly as helpful.

So instead of showing just the Keyword, if it could attach the thread title after that, then I could browse through my alerts much easier.

So instead of the most recent email I got saying:
Your FatWallet Instant Topic Alerts - free

It should say:
FatWallet Topic Alerts - free - Safeway free delivery on $50 minimun order code

That way I can peruse all the items right from my main inbox and just look at the ones of interested and delete the rest.

Thanks.

I would like to present this post with the "coulda had a v8 headslap" and "Home Alone just tried aftershave" awards. I'm so going to bother somebody about this, over and over again.

Oops! I misunderstood your request, thinking you were looking for title in body of the email... which is already there. Now I understand you're wishing for it in the subject line (I know I know, I didn't read the first time). The reason titles are not in the subject line is to avoid spam filters. We've chosen to get more emails through rather than getting more info in the subject line.

Please let us know if I'm again/still misunderstanding, or if there's a happy solution.

Everyone has the ability to add topicalerts@fatwallet.com to their Not Spam list which is what I had to do to your account anyway. The reason I requested this is because that's how SlickDeals is setup and I can go to my SlickDeals folder, glance at all the subject lines, and then delete everything I don't want.

In my FW folder, I have to open up every email to see what it's about which takes a ton of extra time. Gmail's Spam filter killed my topic alerts a long time ago so I flagged one as Not Spam and now I get them all.

Most people here are techies so I'd think doing that would be pretty basic for most people...

Well... since you put it that way

Somehow, we will improve this for you.
