Re: User name in screenshots

Hey everybody,

I don't see the problem with translating the content of the fake
identity? Just produce an eMail in english, let it be translated and the
inbox is full :) So when taking a screenshot, one has just to pick the
right mail and fine. Works for documents, chats, etc. too :)
