Interesting as it was, I'm not sure I would have caught the mistake if they didn't send me the follow-up email with the subject in CAPS.

I ordered a free "get-to-know-us" issue of Layers magazine, as I wanted to see what it was like being a graphic designer and all. Well they just sent me a confirmation email say, "Now that you have had a chance to try out magazine, why not subscribe?"... before I even got the issue! But then, they immediately sent another email that read in the subject, "WHAT WE MEANT TO SAY WAS..." It was a follow-up to make sure they got their message across and that they sent the wrong email! This one was their standard, "Thanks for trying out Layers" email, I only hope I don't receive the upsell email again later on! I can imagine the sweat dripping off the person who sent the wrong email, he/she was probably turning red in their office even though I was miles away. oops. :) I know this page is off in history now, but I had to share a strange happening.
