Nice! I get emails from Meetup with subject texts like "You're the organisator [that this and that Meetup needs]" and every time I open that email to find out what the complete sentence is and am a little bit relieved to find out I'm not an organisator of something by accident. It's on the edge, but not over it. Smart marketing from Meetup.
Never knew there was a name for these sentences.
- djhn 3y agoWhich part of that is the subject line? Does it include the entire sentence as long as your email client can display it? Or does it literally cut off the sentence mid-point? I would call that misleading and definitely over the edge.
- rambambram 3y ago> "You're the organisator is visible in the overview. > [that this and that Meetup needs]" Is the full sentence visible after clicking.
- radarsat1 3y agoThis reminds me of something more innocuous but funny that happens to me. Innocuous because it's not on purpose. When I forget to start Slack and someone sends me a message, Slack sends me an email saying "You have a new direct message in <channel>". Well, it so happens that when I get this, the notification dialog that pops up to tell me about the email is just the right width that it gets cut off as "You have a new dire.." The first several times this happened I went straight to Slack eager to find out what was so important.
