Digi-Key has changed and it is not very good

The DKIM signature is verified, so it did come from Digikey's servers, or at least one approved by Digikey.

I got it also on two email accounts. I was going to report it to Digi-Key, but I couldn't find a spoof or spam receiver email, so I checked here first.

I didn't, at least I don't think I did. I don't recall ever receiving spam from any of the major suppliers.

It was sent by DK, there is no question about it. Or someone figured out how to spoof DKIM signatures. But if so, it would be stupid to redirect people to the vendor web site.
Why would independent spammers what us to go to digikey.cn?
It was probably a mistake, of course. Or some over-zealous marketing people.

Digi-Key, your "applied filter" is broken, example I select three resistance values 4.961k, 5k, 5.369k and the search results are including the wrong values such as 10k, 100k, 330k, 47k, 30k etc. This is also occuring for many different types of parts, like capacitors.
I also clicked on "In Stock" but "0 - Immediate" shows up for many items. If I sort by "Stock" column, the zero's (stock) items disappear.
If I sort by "Resistance in Ohms @ 25°C" column, then out of range value parts disappear.
Why STILL can't I enter a range for parameters? Nothing happens when I click on "Search Filter" and type to enter a number.
You want me to click the zillion check boxes for a range from say 2k-4k?
I tried to find parts under 20mm height and I laughed so hard at your website dumbness, and then ordered from Mouser because it took seconds to find short parts.

I was shopping for resistors today, and I found something curious: Resistors with 25 significant figures in their resistance, apparently manufactured by Vishay Dale. Good work, Vishay :clap: The Voltnuts will go wild to get their hands on these!
(obvious sarcasm, resistors do not have anywhere close to that kind of precision, I suspect this is IEEE-754 problems)
