Blank email ad notifications continues. I also noted that whether blank or not if you click on reply it is being directed back to AM instead of the seller.....I believe someone else reported that as well a couple days ago.

All I'm getting is a steady stream of emails with "New Classifieds", then "Thanks, Astromart team". I stopped counting.

And because to the constant title, gmail treats them all as a single disturbingly clumpy conversation.

This is a toughie for me as well. Emailed notifications to Gmail and/or Inbox for Google now show up in the same, single, conversation — basically meaning I can no longer follow classifieds at all. It’s just too hard to peel apart the conversation to divine what I’ve missed.

Probably healthier for my pocketbook, lol....

Anyway, another vote for individual email address with distinct subject headers.

Agreed... the old email advert format was perfect. Now you have to open each email to see what is contained. I would like to see the item's title in each email's subject title again.

Also, if this wasn't mentioned earlier, how about an option to format the emails in plain text instead of HTML?

Thanks,

Well I'm glad I'm not the only one with this problem. The old format worked great, there was no need to change it. Fixing what isn't broke.....

please restore the for sale 1-line summaries of all ads back at the beginning of the for sale email. it is much easier to look at the one line subjects without having to read ALL of the ads to see what is listed.

thanks
