2. Perhaps I should have said they use it regularly in emails to me
Just a clarification.

3. Do they use it regularly to everyone? Or only to you?

5. Tough to say, because I don't see other emails they send
But you're spot on with the question; without knowing the context, it's difficult to know.

Thanks for replying, though.

6. It means they have a degenerative eye disease.
Don't make fun of their infirmities.
