@pixelfed Does it just put "Sent from ..." and "Sent to ..." at the top of the email?

@fell No, we store email metadata we send to users and show the subject/timestamp/to address on this screen to allow users to validate authentic emails based on Subject and Timestamp.

The email body is not stored or shown on this screen.

@pixelfed Oh I see, it just lets you double check manually. Got it!

@pixelfed there's an official Pixelfed app? Is it in the Google Play store?
