Subject: Update to Footer Theme

“Update to Footer Theme

Dear User,

Our CEO, James Mitchell, recently shared something personal with the world. He came out as gay. To show our support for him and the LGBTQ+ community, we are adding a pride themed footer to all emails sent through SendGrid.

This footer will now appear on emails sent from your account.

We understand this may not be right for everyone. If you would prefer not to display it, you can turn it off at any time using the link below.”

Subject: Update on Email Theming

“Update on Email Theming

Dear User,

In memory of David Mixner, a prominent LGBTQ+ activist who passed away earlier this year, our CEO has decided to apply an LGBTQ+ pride theme to outgoing emails and footers.

This theme will be automatically applied to all footers in emails sent through our platform.

If you do not wish to apply this theme, you can remove it by clicking the button below or by updating your preferences in your account settings.”

Ooo now they are targeting racists

Phishing email targeting SendGrid users:

For the next one week, all emails sent from your account will feature a commemorative theme honoring George Floyd and the Black Lives Matter movement.

This change applies platform-wide to all users.

“#BlackLivesMatter In Memory of George Floyd (1973-2020)”

Thank you for your support.

my favorite is how generic and non-specific it is, i assume the man who wrote it couldn't think of a single woman he thought of as inspirational lolll

From: SendGrid
Subject: Women's History Month Footer Added

Message content:

A PERSONAL NOTE FROM OUR CEO

We're adding a Women's History Month footer to all outgoing emails — here's why.

Recently, | watched my daughter give a speech at school about a woman in history who inspired her. She was nervous. She did it anyway. It reminded me of every woman in my life who's done the same — shown up and pushed forward when it wasn't easy.

That moment got me thinking: our platform touches billions of inboxes. A small gesture at that scale can mean something real. So starting today, we're doing something simple.

- All outgoing SendGrid emails now include a small Women's History Month footer — tasteful, lightweight, and non-intrusive.

- Enabled by default for all accounts. You can disable it anytime in Account Preferences.

FOOTER PREVIEW:

(purple heart emoji) Celebrating Women's History Month — Honoring the women who lead, create, and inspire.
