Just received an email from someone. It was, I admit, vaguely important, but the whole thing was skewed by the fact that at the end of said email was the little missive;

Sent from my iPhone4

Eh?

Why do I need to know that it was sent from a phone? Let alone sent from an iPhone. However, to take it yet further, why the blinking flip do I, or ANYONE for that matter, need to know that your email was sent from your

iPhone4

You are, sir, a moronic ****monkey of the worst kind and I hope that a thousand crabs infest your genital region.

I agree

Posted from my Dell XPS

My work phone says something like that at the end of the email. Is it a problem?

It’s not the users fault, it’s default. My HTC phone does the same. I wouldn’t worry, unless you are looking for things to worry about. I’m sure the content of the email wasn’t affected.

Why not add a line to your signature box that says “sent from outer space” or “telepathically uploaded from my creabellum into the interweb for your reading pleasure”….might be a bit rubbish but at least it would be a laugh….or is it just me?

Well, seeing as CountZero has not jumped on this predictable rant I will have a go.

Out of the box the iPhone comes with signatures set as on as default for outgoing mail, with a default message, which the user can change or turn off. Obviously the person who sent you the message does not have the skillz to change this basic setting or likes it. So blame the user and not the phone.

Now go and do something more productive.*

*Like buy an iPhone?

I got an email the other day, sent from a blackberry on orange,

Clever fruit, blackberry shagging an orange, now that i would like to see.

Jamie, I do indeed blame the user. I did not ask for any infestation of the phone, just the genital region of the user.

I believe that bit gets added automatically, a marketing ploy by fisher-price which possibly doesn’t work well with everyone 😯

In the rant stakes, the post is very controlled although points are scored for your last paragraph sir 🙂

Jamie, I do indeed blame the user. I did not ask for any infestation of the phone, just the genital region of the user.

Well, have you spoken to said user about what state you wish their genital area to be in? Might get a better reaction cutting out the middle man…i.e STW.

Pfft, CFH, surely your butler would open the mail?

Sent from my imaginary island-fortress via a system of string, punch-cards and paper cups.

I changed mine to say ‘sent from my phone’. Just so, y’know, the recipient realises that I’m not sat in front of a computer in a swanky office, or in a nice warm living room, but I could in fact be anywhere, and may not have lots of resources at my fingertips. Get over yerself.

Maybe the user doesn’t know it does this or more to the point doesn’t give a **** if it does.

Jamie, said user is across the Atlantic from me at the moment, and is not really in a position to be ranted at. Am venting here instead!

psling, thanks. I was going for control above simple rant. 😉

PMSL @ noteeth!

I got one recently that read – “sent from my iphone, the best phone in the world”

ARGH!

KILL! KILL! KILL!

If typing a lengthy mail from my phone I add a note at the end apologising for any predictive texts balls ups that i may have misses. I think this is also a reason for having the ‘sent from my….’ signature

Sent from my HTC Hero

“sent from my ipad – why not ring me back and imagine me holding it to my ear ?”

Houns, that is indeed valid. However, surely, “Sent from a phone” or “Sent from my mobile” is less **** than “Ooooh, look at me, I have an iPhone and what’s more, it’s an iPhone4, so I must be really sexually attractive and not even slightly a ****monkey”!

Don’t let it bother you dude
sent from my puter

WGAS sent from the heart………

Blackberrys do the same, well they don’t say sent from an iPhone obviously. As others have said it is simply the default signature and really not worth getting upset about.

What’s this ponce moaning about this time?

Cheeze…

I’ve never heard anyone get so wound up about someone owning an iPhone4

Envy is a terrible thing Captain 😐

Eeze a ponce, in’t e?

The modern world presents a considerable challenge to old money, IME.

I always assumed that “sent from a phone” was a way of saying “so there are loads of typos because the keyboard is crap and not because I’m an imbecile.”

An IT manager I used to work with had amended his to read something along the lines of “Sent from my Blackberry using tiny keys and fat fingers.”

Noteeth makes me laugh. 😆

What’s an iphone?

No idea.
Sent from my sofa.

I’m 99% confident this is the default setting on an iphone4, the user hasn’t selected this, it just does it and until someone posts him back to say ‘what are you, an idiot?’ he doesn’t even know he’s doing it. (Assuming he’s not a grade A geek who has already run trough the settings) in which case he’d have already changed it to the binary version of ‘**** you’

Diddums.

Well according to the Pimlico girls flashy, if you really want the email sender to be infested with pubic lice, you should have sex with him or her 🙂

^^^

Aye!

Shag his rs like!

On my Nokia it is the default setting & it needs to be de-selected each time you write a mail.

Though, as mentioned, it is useful way to inform the recipient that you’re working away from your desk (which I am much of the time).

I’ve changed mine to say ‘Sent from my iphone 5′ just to make the bu663rs think I’ve got 1 up on ’em

I’ve changed mine to say ‘Sent from my iphone 5′ just to make the bu663rs think I’ve got 1 up on ’em

I doubt that would work.

Sent from my iPhone 6

Think outside the box

Sent from my jPhone

Or it’s a warning?

Sent from my iPhone – so I might be an hour late for our next meeting
