Hi there,
We had changed the from address to try and improve bounce
reporting and prevent being marked as spam by major ISPs. When we
added the HTML formatting we found that we needed a consistent address
for the 'always display images' option in many clients so we changed
things around again. Hopefully this will be the last change as it
causes us a bunch of work as well. I'll keep an eye out for future
changes and try and let people know.
Thanks;

Every time you do this, every single person using TwitReport has to
change their filters, and I spend 2 weeks, at least, explaining to
people why it stopped working, and some number of people probably
assume that things are broken on my end and stop using it altogether.
I'm not making a dime off of this project (nor do I want to), it's
something that I'm doing to make Twitter a bit nicer to use, but
having something as basic as this change twice and break the entire
thing is a bit of a pain in the ass and a not-insignificant waste of
time.
So I hope that y'all will keep this one, since you've liked it enough
to use it twice now :-)
THAT SAID, I'm glad that the *format* of the notifications has
improved. I certainly think that is the right way to go.
