a text message that clearly shouldve been an email, by exceeding the amount of characters in a standard text message (160 characters). Hence, wasting your time by having to piece together 2+ messages to make sense.
can also occur when someone starts the text off as an advertisment and ends with something along the lines of their life story
Sender: ...theres a sale at my work right now coz the boss is away... dont tell the boss... omg when i was working yesterday i heard this song that reminded me of this time we hung out at the beach, and i met that guy who i thought was really nice and he was for like a month and then he turned out to be a jerk...
Reciever: uhm, what? she couldve sent me an email! i hate getting text-mail ugh.
to test a person's email address by sending a message to it with the subject line reading "test mail". It means to repsond to it as soon as possible to ensure that the owner of the email address received it
For example, Chuck gives Boots an email address over the phone and sends him a "testmail." Boot receives it and lets Chuck know of it over the phone or by responding to it
