It seems that recently the text messages to my phone have a lot of text at the beginning about spam filter, etc. This is a relatively recent phenomenon, so I wanted to see if anyone had the same issue and whether there's a way around it?
Thanks imalawyer, we hear you. Our TripAlert messages recently changed to an HTML format, which would explain why these messages now have a lot of link pollution when viewed in plain text format. Considering that most TripAlerts are sent to mobile devices, such as phones and PDAs, we're going to go back to our previous non-HTML format. This change may take a up to a week to implement, but it will be corrected.
