Wow! Glad I accidentally helped!

I like y'all's voice better, but I also think our delivery is better. It feels like "you've got mail" doesn't work as well in British, but there's surely got to be an ideal way to mash it up to have her voice with his brevity and levity.

    They had a female mascot in the adverts, and the same actress did the voice announcements for things like "You have Email" , "Welcome to AOL". The US one had a male voice (not sure if they had a mascot) , and there is a contraction in their "You've got mail" announcement.

    EDIT : She's called Connie and was mugged http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/1975629.stm

    EDIT2 : OHHH SHIT You helped me find it! I needed the mascot's name!
