MBaggese:It has worked in the past for me...but sending to those on my friends list...I/e I'd always send balls and say "keep'em dry"...and always get a replay (via PM)...unsure if the person not on your friends list gets a message, but should receive an email they use here, with the message inside.
Thank you Sir. Yes, the player is on my list of friends and this is the second time that
1. A player receives a default
"you have received a gift from ..." message; and
2. I receive that same default message when gifted by someone. This might prevent good intentions to be received and understood in the gesture of gifting. Cheers ;)
