The fact that there's a canned e-mail for breaking up is slightly disturbing.

Still I don't know how to avoid that the annoying Apple mail program opens all the mails and not Gmail's compose view within in the browser. Thus, I'd also agree to just get a text preview from the text and maybe not just one version but many curated from users as a next feature.

While on Gmail, in e.g. Chrome, look in the address bar for a symbol like and click it. More info: https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/1382847?hl=en

You should never ask to ask for a question. And you shouldn't announce your question.

Just ask.

It would be better if you set the body for each email with JavaScript and the new lines with "%0A" instead of the indented HTML code. Or don't use indented HTML code for the body blocks. The indented HTML code has also effect of the style of the email: the first line is normal, the second line and all following lines are indented with 25 spaces. This looks strange.

However, I like the idea of this website.

Ironically enough clicking on "apologize from problem / bug" crashed Firefox.

The email body seems to be prefixed with the following, which is showing in my webmail editor (Roundcube). Is it a problem with my configuration or this site?

The text the site tries to put in the mail is pure text, not HTML, so I'd think it is Roundcube that is messing it up.

Similarly, I believe you shouldn't ask strangers how are they or even use it as a greeting.

Wow, so much potential.

There's some weird formatting going on though. I might be using slightly old and lightweight e-mail client (M2 in Opera12), but I still don't think it should look like this http://puu.sh/fTYSp/c4f0a3bb84.png

Same thing happening with 31.4.0 on Arch Linux.
