Fleet Mailing Identification

There didn't seem to be a recent thread addressing this, so here goes!

I've got several STO characters running and since they all share the same mailbox, it would be much appreciated if fleet leaders (and others) always included their actual unique FLEET NAME in the emails that they send out. Half the time I'm confused and have to go and search through several fleet rosters in order to put the latest message in the right perspective for whichever character it was originally intended.

    Ahh first world problems. Honestly, this is not an issue that belongs here, but one you should bring up with the leadership in the many fleets you belong to.​​

    It's passing strange when a general discussion thread is called out on the "general discussion" thread, but okay. Filing this one for posterity!

    I normally reply to these emails with "What fleet is this? I can't be sure because you didn't say."

    I most often don't hear back.
    So, most often I don't/can't help out.

    It is not that it wouldn't fall into the topic of general discussion (which it does), it is that it is asking for a fix to an issue that is out of the control of the DEVs or the community at large, and solely something your (various) fleets leaders need to address if anyone will.

    Sorry if it seemed I was saying it didn't belong in this topic, more was meant it doesn't really belong on the forums as we cannot help you with it at all.​​

    That's fine. My intent in posting it was to hopefully engender an idea that might take root with those of us in the game, as a courtesy if nothing else.

    True that. Some basic mail filtering on Subject would be nice, though.

    Agreed across the board. And as a fleet leader I am going to try to implement this in my fleet, at least on the messages I send.​​

    I'm actually not sure if it is really out of control of the DEVs... After all they were able to add new lightning to the engine, and "Delete selected" buton to the mail, so it should be possible to add to fleet mail some header, that would pull the current sender fleet name and attach it to the mail...
