Using Email in Profiles

QBabe

A couple of forum members have tried to email me using my profile here on the forum. I'll get an email from the saying:

NOTE:This is a message from mijoey at greeneggers.net (
http://www.greeneggers.net ). This user did not see your email
address. If you reply the receipent will have your email address.
greeneggers.net owners cannot accept any responsibility for the contents of the
email.

When I hit reply to this message, it routes to the greeneggers.net rather than this person's actual email. Am I doing something wrong? I don't want this person thinking I'm ignoring them, but I don't know how to send a follow up email....

Any help is appreciated...

Fidel

That's strange. When I get emails from the forum members, I can reply to their registered email address.

I'll send you one to test.

QBabe,

Hmmm, that's odd. I'll have to do some testing and see if I can reproduce that same behavior.

Many of my messages that come directly through this site wind up in my JUNK folder, so check that too.... As far as your problem, it happens to me too. I've been deleting most of the "reply to" address, reducing it to their original e-mail address, then sending. It's a hassle for sure, but you will get the hang of it. For example, the "reply to" address will look like this:

"BOB(at)" greeneggers(dot)net bob(at)something(dot)com

I delete everything except this:

bob@something.com

What I think is happening is when you hit reply, the mail client reads the following header:

---

Original Message

---

From: Fidel @ greeneggers.net [mailto:rodneyfortune@bellsouth.net]
Sent: Tuesday, January 15, 2008 10:18 PM
To: rodneyfortune@bellsouth.net
Subject: test


and creates to To: line as a contact that appears as:

Fidel @ greeneggers.net

But the actual mailto: is set only as the email address.

I think it is just confusing the way it appears in the To: line of the mail client, but the address is actually going to the persons email address that they are registered with on the forum.

I hope this makes sense.

Here's what I see in my email: There is no mailto....

If I try to send it, I get this:

There was a problem:
There is an error in the To field.

It appears to be a formatting error, somewhere at or near the beginning of the sub-string "". Did you forget a comma?

Please enter valid e-mail addresses (e.g., in the format person@yahoo.com), or use nicknames from your Yahoo! Address Book. Separate each address with a comma (",").

Your message has not been sent.

If I then take out the "unexpected data text and leave only the fidel@greeneggers.net,
when I actuallly send the email, I get one of those mailer daemon failuers (below):

Hi. This is the qmail-send program at yahoo.com.
I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following
addresses.
This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.

:
72.52.255.209 does not like recipient.
Remote host said: 550
Giving up on 72.52.255.209.

QBabe

Thanks a bunch...

BTW, I sent you an email in reply to your question about the banner.

QBabe

I don't appear to be getting their email addy at all. Just the greeneggers one.
