***Please read*** Cuties, we all need to be more diligent in reading posts and comments before replying. As moderators, we are not sure how to encourage this -- but I thought I would try this post. YES, it is really long...

Recently, a post was made concerning emails with a question about legitimacy. Many Cuties replied. Most of the replies have been removed. One answered with information we should all have read. She contacted the website owner (a great idea for us all) and asked about the emails. The owner had moved/changed email host servers. As a result, the emails provided a way for you to get to your previously purchased emails -- as any old links will no longer work.
It seems that very few Cuties read the information. Sadly, many "blocked" future emails from the sender or labeled the email as spam.
This causes a few issues: The email sender is "blacklisted" and punished for sending spam emails. The recipient no longer has access to the previously purchased embroidery designs. The sender may "block" future dealings with the recipient as a consequence of the unnecessary "blacklisting" and the new rules the website owner must follow for removal from the "blacklist"
Lastly, this may be one reason some of the great embroidery sites close. Fighting to get your website removed the the list -- is extremely hard after the second reported occurrence. If you love having numerous embroidery websites to choose from...stop blocking them from using their legitimate source of revenue. Please support all the embroidery websites you frequent by making purchases as often as your budget allows.
