My MySpace account apparently predates my use of Gmail for my primary address[1], so I can't find the welcome email. I may try to sort through my old Maildirs later tonight to see if I can find it, but my hopes aren't high. That doesn't seem like something I would have saved. Maybe I can get close by finding the first MySpace-related email I did keep.
It's pretty amazing how much Gmail changed my habits. Prior to gmail, I had piles of arcane procmail rules, and I'd sort and prune mailboxes meticulously. Now I delete literally nothing (I just archive), and I barely even use labels. I just know that I can rely on search to find a message if I need it later.
1. I signed up for an account shortly after Gmail launched, but I've been using my own domain for my email address since the late 90s. So I used that Gmail account only for experimentation, and moved my primary domain mail over after Google Apps for Your Domain had been around long enough that I trusted it.
