FWIW, as a UK Amazon buyer with a Visa Credit card, I received an email this morning with Subject line "Visa credit cards will not be accepted, starting 19 Jan, 2022" and nothing but my name in the body. A very, very basic email - interesting 'From' address though.
Received: from a0-156.smtp-out.eu-west-1.amazonses.com (a0-156.smtp-out.eu-west-1.amazonses.com [54.240.0.156]) <redacted>
From: "Amazon.co.uk" <amazon-offers@amazon.co.uk>
Subject: Visa credit cards will not be accepted, starting 19 Jan, 2022

- r_c_a_d 5y agoYes, I got one too and thought it was spam.
- GoodbyeMrChips 5y agoJoin the club. The email formatting was so shite, I'm pretty sure any savvy reader assumed it was pishing (even though the URL appears legit).
- whylo 5y agoI've just checked my copy of the email and you're right, the text/plain part only has my name in. The text/html part has the full message though.
- zh3 5y agoThat's interesting, mine definitely only has plain text (no text/html, checked via view source etc). Maybe it's a preference I ticked somewhere back in the mists of time.
- AnssiH 5y agoI also used to tick that preference when a choice was provided, but have stopped doing so after encountering too many cases of text/plain versions being broken one way or another. Not that common, but still too much of a hassle. Sometimes they are "empty" like here, or contain placeholders in place of the actual data, or just break random features (e.g. eBay prevented other users from sending me photos).
- kingcharles 5y ago"an e-mail address that cannot receive e-mails" This should not be a thing.
