  Took me a while to parse the name, forlater is a verb meaning "leaving" in Norwegian. "Jeg forlater deg" = "I am leaving you"

    Hah, to me it looked like an ASCII-fied version of the Swedish word verb meaning "forgive". "Jag förlåter dig" = "I forgive you".

      This interesting variation might explain why the Swedes so easily forgave the Norwegians for leaving (in 1905)

      Forlater means the same in Norwegian as well. Not having been back to Norway for years due to COVID I guess I'm getting a bit rusty and missed that one :p

  small critical comment, if btc is not preferred, remove the option, or don't say that. That may be meaningful to you, but not to anyone else.

    It was meaningful to me. To me it meant "the other options are better for me, but I'll take payment in btc if that's the best option for you. Here's the link for that" Not sure what the harm is?

  For the record, just tried this with my protonmail and the response went straight to spam.

  This is a really cool idea! edit: feature/request Scenario, if I save a link from HackerNews, I like to save the submission of it as well. I wonder if I send a HackerNews link to forlater.email; it can parse the article and remind me I got it from HackerNews. For example, I'd submit "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31852384 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31852384" and in the email, it'd contain: 1. HackerNews link (so i can review the comments as well) 2. Original article link and content food for thought, but love your product idea
