Hi there,
We had changed the from address to try and improve bounce reporting and prevent being marked as spam by major ISPs. When we added the HTML formatting we found that we needed a consistent address for the 'always display images' option in many clients so we changed things around again. Hopefully this will be the last change as it causes us a bunch of work as well. I'll keep an eye out for future changes and try and let people know.

The email notifications for new followers used to come from (From:) Twitter <nore...@twitter.com> then it changed to Twitter <twitter-follow-emailname=domain....@postmaster.twitter.com> then it changed to Twitter <nore...@twitter.com> again. Every time you do this, every single person using TwitReport has to change their filters, and I spend 2 weeks, at least, explaining to people why it stopped working, and some number of people probably assume that things are broken on my end and stop using it altogether. I'm not making a dime off of this project (nor do I want to), it's something that I'm doing to make Twitter a bit nicer to use, but having something as basic as this change twice and break the entire thing is a bit of a pain in the ass and a not-insignificant waste of time. So I hope that y'all will keep this one, since you've liked it enough to use it twice now :-) THAT SAID, I'm glad that the *format* of the notifications has improved. I certainly think that is the right way to go. - TjL
