as you can see if you went to the link already it is just to the mazdausa rx8 site that we all started discussing about a month ago. if they wanted me to be the first to see the all new web site they are a little late with their email. pisses me off:mad:

it was just pointed out to me from a freind that all official mazda stuff comes from mazdausa direct and not from mind arrow so this seems to be something bogus and not actually from mazda.

Mind Arrow is a contractor for Mazda. They handle the email campaigns... although they do put their domain on the email... this does fool a bunch of people, and causes them to think it isn't official.
I've done large email campaigns (not spam) for hotel/casinos here in vegas, for their slot club members that opted into giving up their email addresses. We forced the casino's to setup a forwarding list, subscribe and unsubscribe email addresses (that all went to our server) .. then we simply put the list address @theircasino.com in the "from" field, and reply to field... and bcc'd the list. only 5 out of 25,000 people complained to be taken off the list... but they all new it came from the casino.
The MindArrow people need to force mazda to create some email addresses that they can use, just so it looks official.
