I guess you went thru part of the signup process to see it assigns a
random string as your acct username / email address?
It told me the registration was "having problems." How long was the
random assigned name?
That'd be a bit tough sending mail to general people. But, if you want
privacy...
I wonder if there's an option to enter a name that goes in front of the
email user name, like most clients or even ISPs allow?
I guess it'd be fine for typical mail, but the entire size per message
limit is 2 MB.
