As James mentions, the letter is the same as the recipient's name, not the sender's name being abbreviated. Very strange. :cool: That could be explained, a J in Wingdings font is a :)	PaulD (232)
851896	2010-01-26 00:13:00	That could be explained, a J in Wingdings font is a :)Ah .... that probably is it. Good detective work! Both James and my name start with a J. We probably notice the stray 'J' more because of that. Hmm .. I notice in James first example he uses the letter 'S' not 'J' though. Unless that was just a random example?	Jen (38)

I notice in James first example he uses the letter 'S' not 'J' though. Unless that was just a random example? I have also seen "Linda (message). L" So far I have seen "L" and "J". The "S" was just a random example.	Renmoo (66)

An L is a wingdings :( You haven't found a new trend until the actual letters don't translate to smilies in wingdings. They send the wingdings character and your email client uses normal font.

851901	2010-01-26 02:01:00	Or, they just want to confuse you.	inphinity (7274)
