I rarely if ever receive PMs but today I received a PM from the address on the title. Usually when I see that address its because I am subscribed to a thread, and a PM would have the username somewhere. 

Was this a legit PM? And if so, how do I know who sent it to me? Does replying to that address rely my message to the person or not?

Thanks.

Replying does send it to the email of the person that sent it, yes.

I also found it annoying that it wouldn't say who sent it, but haven't complained about it yet

It seems to be an improvement over the last system where I often couldn't get messages because yahoo.

The lack of username or any name threw me off and I was afraid it might have been some sort of scam.

Good to know that replying to it will go to the person that originally sent it.

It does, I never got a PM before so this means it is now working for me.

I have to say that it would be nice to find a way to include, at least, the username of the person somewhere so you know who is contacting to you.

So when using the PM system you really need to identify yourself. OK I did that the first time I used the system, but then stopped because the system did it for me. Must re-learnfrown
