What would you like to do?

Dear Mr Morris

Please see below and attached the information for the Queen Mary. Should you require any further information, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Kind regards

Antoinette


Hello Antoinette, The person you are booking the cruise for is incompetent with respect to the intricacies of email. This means I continually receive his email, however, I live in Brisbane, Australia. I just happen to have the same name, but I assure you that I am a different person to your client.

I have asked your Tony Morris (UK) to fix his email, to no avail. I suspect he has set an incorrect Reply-To header on one of his email clients and this means that some software will follow this header, resulting in my receiving his email. Your software is likely to be following this header.

Say hi to him for me.


My apologies Tony!!

I will contact my client and give him a piece of your mind!

Kind regards

Antoinette Stapelberg


Haha it's OK. This has been going on for years. He keeps claiming that he is "not doing it intentionally", which is not the point -- he simply doesn't understand the SMTP protocol on which email is based.

I doubt I will ever stop receiving his email. Some of it is quite hilarious.


Thank you…you made my day…he is actually a very, older, British gentleman….so protocol might not be that important to him..


Yeah that's OK. As long as he enjoyed golf with Jody and Geoff last Saturday!


You might be booked on a cruise next year….

Oh awesome. You coming? Does it stop in Australia?


Unfortunately not…Cape town to miserable London
