Subject: feedback on my duplicate registration request
From: (me)

Today I submitted a request for a duplicate registration on the RMV web site, and the email I got confirming this was somewhat incomprehensible.

Here's the text of the email:
---------------------
From: "feedback@rmv.state.ma.us" <feedback@rmv.state.ma.us>
Subject: Transaction ID : xxxxxxx

you print and carry tr new registration certificate, unless of this e-mail shall be deemed a receipt for the feed copy questions, please contact the Telephone Center at 617-351-4500 from 9:00am to 5:00pm, Monday - Friday, except holidays.
We welcome your feedback!
Please e-mail us at feedback@rmv.state.ma.us
Thank you for using www.massrmv.com.
---------------------

I'm trying to figure out what "you print and carry tr new registration certificate, unless of this email shall be deemed a receipt for the feed copy question" actually means. Most of the words are English (except "tr"), but I have no idea what they're supposed to mean in that order.

Please advise.

Wow. Let us know what it does mean. That's really weird.

A bunch of sentences got chopped off and re-munged.

You print and carry tr(something)
new registration certificate, unless (something)
(receipt?) of this email shall be deemed a receipt for the fee (something)
(something)d copy

If you have questions, please contact etc.

apparently, it means "you may print out a copy of the receipt and that will serve as a temporary registration. this email will serve as a receipt."

i'm unclear what the "unless" was doing in that sentence.

ENGLISH, MOTHERFUCKER, DO YOU SPEAK IT??

Didn't they tell you? Those functions got outsourced to India.

I've renewed registrations over the internet and had no problems. I wonder if your confirmation email got munged somehow.
