Ignoring emails

[Anonymous]

Couldn’t agree more, I think there are a lot who are maybe shy of getting into a deep and meaningful with others but really, what’s the harm of at least acknowledging. On the other hand I got one via here and couldn’t reply cause the return is through the T-Radio mailing system and there isn’t a reply address to use.
Cheers,

I couldnt agree more even if the reply is that you dont want to talk if there is no answer you dont even know if they got the message or not

I agree with all you girls . I also think that its quite possible that the email cansometimes get dumped in the junk letter box in hotmail etc but to me this seems to be not that common, but its used by some as an excuse for not writing back. Me thinks that members should pledge to answer emails or give some other form of undertaking when joining As you have said its impolite not to reply . I would suggest that the moderators or webmistress look at the possibility that emails are sent with a request for a receipt .No wto me if someone doesnt want to reply we should have a stand answer list so that they can selct a reply – like ‘too busy “. too traumatised ” etc just as dating sites do .To let an email just sit in your inbox and not reply is very unlady like .And we all want to be ladies dont we ?

I think that I have received just one email ever from tranny radio that I couldn’t respond to, and that was the reason. I compose emails at quiet times when I’m off line, and if there is no email address to reply to, I can’t reply. I find the idea of sending an email to someone without a return email address quite inappropriate and verging on downright rude.

I do occasionally take a while to reply to emails because I’m too busy with work, family and all of the other usual disasters but I do reply if it’s possible.

Perhaps it’s because we are so used to having return adresses automatically inserted that people who write haven’t realised there is no reply address?
Could this be amended in the T-Radio message system?

I just noticed, Yvery slow!!! Duh!) When you send an e-mail via T-Radio, through the profiles, your own address is there, but when it’s recieved there is no return address attached, apart from the T-Radio one?

I reckon my brain is slowing down. Just got another e-mail and I want to reply but there is no address on it, only ‘the log on to T-radio message to reply’ but there doesn’t seem to be a way of finding the address of the person who sent it, assuming there isn’t more than one with similar names!!!
**sigh** Maybe I should go back to pen and paper? Remember that? Didn’t have to reboot everytime something went wrong, didn’t have to look up the compatible software etc.

The system is not broken as far as I can see.

I made some changes to ensure that TgR never gives out your email address…and as far as I can see it does work.

If someone in TgR sends you an email there is a link in the email like
profile.php?mode=premail&u=XXXX&f=true

If you log into TgR and use the link (as it says in the email) then what you type into the email reply goes back to the originator without giving away your email address.

However, if someone outside TgR has sent you an email then the text at the start of the email says that the reply address has been set to what the guest typed. In this case replying will reveil your email address to a non-TrannyRadio member – but I guess it is your choice if you want to do that.

If there is a real problem then do the usual thing and email me the entire email text and tell me why it doesn’t work for you.
But please don’t just gripe on the forums – because if there is a problem it won’t help me find the cause.

I must confess to being a “non-answerer”. It’s funny that I often check my email and hope to find one, but somehow could not find the courage to reply when one (infrequently) arrived.

I guess this is largely paranoia due to living in constant fear of being discovered and exposed in this small and totally intolerant town. Maybe I just dont know what to say. I’m not too sure. Having read the previous comments in this forum I now realise that I may have been perceived as rude and uncaring.

My attitude has changed somewhat since I attended the Seahorse Ball where I was accepted without judgement and enjoyed so much meeting others like me.

I wish to apologise to those who have emailed me and received no reply, in particular Clare and Sharon. In future I will value those who reach out to me (members only of course) and reply for sure.

Sharon, my dear, it is that paranoia which prevents me from meeting you in person and I will remain firmly in the closet in this town. I do, however, salute your courage and wish you all the best in your transition.

I wish you all much love, peace and joy

Seems to me the complaints of no replies is justified. I always try and answer an e-mail. I have attempted at least twice to contact two girls and always no reply. Their profile might say willing to meet other girls in area, but this never happens because they don’t reply. All I would like is a reply saying hi no thanks. Ladies, sex is not always the ulterior motive, and friendship even online can give us a sense of community. Mutual appreciation, respect and support along with manners are the keys. Hoping you have a wonderful day!
Regards,
Norah.

When I first came on the ‘net, just prior to re-starting dressing again, I always felt a bit rejected and dejected about ‘no replies’ to my emails especially as I usually went out of my way to write emails that said something about myself. At the time I had no photos to substantiate my tg-ism – but I had a need to connect with other TGs. Eventually I put up my own profiles and my own website and I promised to respond to everyone who wrote to me.

Years down the track I still reply to 80 -90% of those who write to me and I always reply to those who write disclosing some personal details. In fact I say elsewhere that I’ll respond to everyone who is ‘polite and articulate’ – but I don’t reply to everyone now. I get explicit messages from guys that I don’t reply to. I get emails from guys from Middle Eastern countries usually very courteous but I don’t reply to them.

I think I need to be a little bit careful – recently I got a very complimentary email from a local email address with a female username. The writer invited me for coffee and provided their mobile number. I didn’t respond to the either by email or telephone to the invitation. A few days later I got another email from what was obviously an irate partner asking – ‘Who is this and when did you meet XXXX? At least be honest.’ This was a bit unnerving for a few days and resulted in me reviewing my ‘net profiles and switching off the publicly listed email address on Yahoo!

I have got emails saying how much the writer has in common with me – and I respond at length and I’ve received no follow up email. Many, maybe most, are only happy talking at a very superficial level as they remain guarded about what they disclose.

In the years I’ve been on the ‘net I’ve corresponded and chatted with lots of really lovely people of all shades and learned so much about TG-ism and cross dressing etc. But the reality of ‘net ‘friendships’ is that they are, even at best, mostly fairly transient.

With all that in mind I have to decide how I best spend my time.

So while in the ideal world everyone would reply to every email, there are all kinds of legitimate reasons why we don’t.

Very true.

If I chat with someone in the TgR chatroom and give them my email address while in the chat room, I’ll always respond to them because I’ve already got past the types of issue that several girls have mentioned. I’ve never had a bad email from a girl I’ve chatted with first.

This is only my second post to Forums and sad to say it’s another whinge. I don’t understand the plain rudeness of some girls who ignore emails. And unfortunately it seems to happen a lot. Or perhaps people just don’t care to talk to me which is just fine but please have the courtesy to just say so. It can be the briefest reply possible but it’s unbecoming to just completely ignore anyone who has gone to the trouble writing in the first place. Please be considierate.

Hi Pip yes I agree with you entirely. Some of us girls go to the trouble of writing emails to others , as they say please email me ,but when you do , seems they just cant be bothered answering you. I dont know the reason myself , but know it is fraustrating at times , you write someone & are just ignored .ohhhhhhhhh well thats the way of life these days i guess ok bye take care Darlene . Psssssss , I’m sure if you emailed me I would reply to you …………………………….
