Hi Strands fans. I'm ashamed to say that, despite being a technology writer by trade, today's theme being email focused didn't click until I'd been given a couple of clues. I blame feeling slightly fluey.
Those clues revealed SENT and SPAM. And at first, I thought this might actually be about text messaging more generally, until I got INBOX in the top-left corner. With DRAFTS spelt backwards directly below it, I finally had a good grip on what the topic was about.
But even then, I wasn't exactly firing on all cylinders. Still, I eventually spotted STARRED in the top-right corner, followed by TRASH spelt backwards from the bottom up along the middle.
I then located SNOOZED in the bottom-right corner, which just left the spangram to bag: EMAILLABEL spelt from top to bottom along the middle of the grid.
