Ah, I see, Chewy. Must admit I keep my reading screen visible so no need to 'open it' as it's already there...

I did not realise it was the newsletter , I thought it was just an alert to a thread.Used to trash it without looking.

Ha ....another who didn’t know
Gransnet ask them to call it what it is - a newsletter or Daily news or something to denote it’s use
I bet we are not alone Rubytut and Chew

Yep, got you, BlueBelle. It's all about inbox settings. I do agree, if the word 'Newsletter' were in the strapline, everyone would see it, no matter what the settings.

Going off slightly on a tangent... I keep looking for classes to update my IT skills and to get the kind of background IT education our children have had BUT can find nothing I feel like going to. Local authority adult education is virtually non-existant in small towns now!
Anyone any suggestions of where to go in person to learn together?

I obviously don’t know about your area Flora but my 82 year old friend has just had some iPad lessons through our local library I d never seen any adverts for this opportunity so could it be worth a phone call

This is what should be at the top of your emails - it's the same on Mumsnet

BlueBelle Tue 14-Aug-18 11:30:00

No nothing like that Cari it simply has the first few words of a thread as the title on my iPad

BlueBelle Tue 14-Aug-18 11:44:33

Sorry pressed the button too soon The Gransnet Daily only shows up AFTER you ve opened the mail hence the reason I and it appears others didn’t know it was a newsletter but just thought it was a alert about a thread

CariGransnet (GNHQ) Tue 14-Aug-18 17:14:16

Aha - OK this is something we can look at

I guess it depends on how you have your emails set up.
I use an iPad Pro and when I open my email App, on the left hand side of the screen is a list of emails in date/time order with just a few lines of text and on the right hand side, is the first fully opened email to read.
So if I scroll through the emails on the left, I can easily read them without having to open a separate window.

Blinko Sun 19-Aug-18 09:27:25

Yep, that's how mine's set up, Craicon. Tried to explain earlier but can't do a screen shot.
