When we receive mail, it's our own portrait next to the mail, regardless of who sent it: http://i.imgur.com/KFU6lW7.png

I'm pretty sure we all know what our own ugly mugs look like, (and if not, we probably don't want to), so instead of having our own face next to a mail received from someone else, would it be possible to have the portrait of the person who sent the mail show up, instead?

As well, for corp and alliance mails, could that be mentioned, as well? Instead of simply having "New Mail" in the header, it would be "New Corp Mail" and "New Alliance Mail."

Seems like a bug? I'd log one post the EBR number.

Expected behavior should be the portrait of the person sending you the mail, or the logo for the Corporation if it's a corp mail.

was just about to post this same thought, good thing i searched first.

btw, i don't think i have an ugly mug, but seems more appropriate to see the pic of the person who sent it. Corp and alliance logo as well.

Seems pretty standard.

Agreed.

I also wondered, why I would send myself messages? Makes total sense, more or less.
