It's nothing to do with branding, copyrights or terms and conditions, it's to do with legal obligations as to how we identify that we're sending people tons of emails and who they can complain to ;p. We reviewed it with Legal, they insisted on adding it, and it's part of every other notification (Flow or no) that comes via your inbox.

Screenshot of proposed notification, after removing all the "bgcolor=3D"#F8F8F8"

Mmmok. Not that fast, though.

Is this address hardcoded or is it configurable?

Also a proposal: keep everything as it is but remove that "bgcolor=3D"#F8F8F8" from the related td's. Screenshot attached.

After checking in my mailbox the notifications of Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Change.org, Wired, Amazon, and some more it is clear that

• All have the address at the end, yes

• All have the preferences and address information clearly separated from the content, on top of the default gray of the email client (while the content is usually on top of white) and some even have the address in a lighter grey color.

On a second look, now I realize that the preferences and address in the Flow notification are on a grey background. In order to see this I had to tilt my screen, otherwise it looks just as white as the white background of the notification.

Attached:

I imagine configurable, but I can't say for certain. In any case, that (and UI tweaks) are Echo rather than Flow problems - I'll move the bug accordingly, but you should be aware that Echo is currently a 'if it breaks, fix it, otherwise it can wait' product.

Thank you. I can file a patch for that simple color fix as soon as I have time to see where that piece of code is sitting.

Having a designer looking at the screenshot and saying "yep, good idea" would help. :)

Poke benny on IRC; he should know :)

CC'ing Jared.

The patch looks fine to me and I'll merge it after a while if there are no objections.

Both lines should be centered it just looks weird to have two lines of left aligned text in a block that is centered. If that is resolved I'm fine with it.

Note that the only thing this patch is doing is removing the background color of the Preferences and address. It should be showing exactly the same alignment used currently in Echo notifications.
